PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
5-16-19
Dear
Families,
As
some of you are aware, the fire alarms were activated this afternoon at the
elementary school. Staff and students did an excellent job following
evacuation protocols and getting every person out of the building safely. All students were quickly accounted for and
safely redirected to outside activities.
Upon
investigation, there was a small fire in the vent fan in a downstairs
restroom. Carlton and Yamhill Fire Departments
extinguished the fire and thoroughly inspected the unit and the building. Students and staff were cleared to enter the
building shortly before 2:30pm, where dismissal and buses occurred within our
normal schedule.
As
always, the safety of our students is our first priority. I want to reassure
you that at no time was there any danger to students or staff because of our
regular and focused evacuation drills. I
applaud our staff and our fire departments for their professional handling of
this situation.
Feel
free to contact the school with any questions.
Thank you,
Lauren Berg
Principal
