LMCS will be conducting an evacuation drill this Friday, October 11. Parts of Old Rt 17 and Main St will be shut down and students will be escorted to the Methodist Church (Grades 3-6), Presbyterian Church (Grades 7-12), and Temple Agudas Achim (Prek-2). Once all students are accounted for, we will begin the dismissal process from the three evacuation locations. Those students utilizing school-based transportation will be accompanied to their normal bus, which will be provided on-site. Any students who are typically picked up after school, should also be picked up from the listed locations. Our hope is that student pick-up will begin around 11:45-12PM however, this process takes time and may vary. Your cooperation in this matter will help to expedite the process. No pick-ups will be allowed until all buses have left the evacuation site and the road has been cleared (done after buses exit). WHEN PICKING YOUR STUDENT UP, WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE STAY ON THE MAIN ROAD AND DO NOT PULL INTO THE CHURCH OR TEMPLE PARKING LOTS TO ENSURE FOR STUDENT SAFETY. Please give your name and the name of the student(s) whom you’ll be picking up to the assigned personnel (wearing a yellow vest). NO STUDENTS WILL BE RELEASED TO INDIVIDULS NOT ON THE CONTACT LIST. At each pick up location you will see a sign stating the grade levels. Please stop at these locations Your student will then be brought to your vehicle. Once all students are picked up we will complete our evacuation with the dismissal of all student walkers. Please note that no students will be allowed back in the building until 3PM. Further information will be sent home via school reach and student provided letters home.
