Students and staff had to evacuate the building earlier due to a fire alarm. Responders were quick and efficient. All students and staff were accounted for and firemen checked the building thoroughly. The building is safe and secure and things are back to normal.

Bloomz is our main mode of communication and posts were made immediately. If you have not joined Bloomz, please do so that you will have information quickly.
