A note regarding SES safety on Tuesday, October 17. Students may have told parents that school was on lockdown today. We were not in a lockdown scenario. We did have a student who experienced an angry moment in the hallway around our lunch hour. To be safe, staff kept students on the playgrounds or in classrooms about 5 minutes longer than usual. No student or staff danger occurred.
