Welcome back, school administrators!
I hope you had some well-deserved, restful time off.
Looking ahead, ‘21-‘22 is going to be a busy year. As we begin to kick it off, COVID still plays a major part in our school safety preparation efforts. Masks. Distancing. Hand washing. And that’s just the starters. Over the course
of this year’s blogs, I plan to address several other school safety topics as well: school mapping, HB 1214, HIB, drills, equity, threat assessment, behavioral health, data requirements, and more. If you have a topic you would like to see
included, please let me know.
So, let’s start with something you can do right now, something quick and easy: register for this year’s 2021 Washington Great ShakeOut. October
21 at 10:21 am. That’s the scheduled time, but if you and your school Drop, Cover, and Hold on at a different time, that’s totally fine. Just be sure that your school is registered and counted!
Let’s finish up with some things you may be able to use over the coming year. Check out the links below. There may be resources that you can share with your staff and families in the coming weeks and months:
Again, welcome back! Here we go!
