🌊 Tsunami Evacuation Drill Alert 🌊

Please note that we are currently running a tsunami evacuation drill as part of our emergency management plan.

This is a practice only—there is no real emergency, so do not panic.

These drills are an important part of keeping our school community safe and prepared.

Thank you for your support and cooperation!
