Emergency Evacuation Drill Held Today, November 3, 2015
Today, your child participated in an emergency evacuation drill at 2:00 p.m. Teachers took their students in fire drill formation to the back entrance of the Edwin H. Greene Intermediate School, our evacuation destination. We did not proceed to enter the school as this was only a drill. In the event of a real emergency, EHG will serve as our evacuation destination and re-unification site.
Blue Ash and Montgomery Police were present to ensure that the students and staff could safely walk down the public residential streets involved. Members of our school's Medical Emergency Response Team and David Foster, our district's Maintenance Director were on hand to lend assistance during the drill.
We emphasized to our students that this was not a real emergency. We asked them to remain calm and quiet as they listened to the instructions from their teacher. The students listened carefully and behaved beautifully during the drill.
We are pleased with the results of the drill, as all students were accounted for and arrived at the destination in a short amount of time. We are delighted that our careful planning and preparation moved nearly 540 students and staff out of the building and to the evacuation destination in an orderly and safe manner in under 15 minutes.
Should you have any questions about today's drill, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Brooks or Mrs. Reinke at 686-1720.
