Thank you for reserving our parking lot spots for Nerge staff in the mornings. We ask that families transporting students to school by family vehicle use Jennifer Lane.
Student Lockdown Drill on September 30
As required by the Illinois School Code, our schools participate in fire, severe weather, bus evacuation and emergency response drills to ensure our students and employees know what to do should an emergency occur.
On September 30, our school will participate in a lockdown drill. Our past experience in conducting drills has shown us that most students are able to participate with the understanding that it is just a drill. However, we do allow parents/guardians to exempt a child from the drill. Should you feel this situation would be too traumatic for your child or should you want more information about the drills, please contact me at 630.736.2500. Under state law, schools must still provide alternative safety education related to an active threat to students who do not participate in the lockdown drill.
