October is Safety Awareness Month at Coolville Elementary. Our school safety team is busy reviewing
safety plans and procedures to keep our students safe and parents informed so that we can keep
everyone on point in the event of a crisis.
On October 13th the Coolville Fire department helped with our monthly fire safety drill. Our students
and staff are tasked with moving safely to a designated area outside of the building within 3 minutes of
the first alarm. Coolville students made it to their targeted areas under the time deadline. In the event
of a real fire this helps first responders provide a quicker response to our students.
Parent notifications were sent home this week to families whose students are missing medical records
or immunization records to improve health safety as the winter cold season is about to begin. If you
have received a notification, your doctor may fax the updated records to us at 740-728-2022.
Finally, on November 2nd , Coolville Elementary will be practicing a mock intruder drill with Officer White
from the Athens County Sheriff’s office. Students will learn helpful strategies to flee and evade a
potential intruder to our school.
We hope all of you have a safe and happy October!
Mr. Hoover, Principal
