Hello, Lakewood Families!


This week, all HVS students participated in School Safety Week in grades JK-5th grades. Our students participated in activities and lessons designed to enhance their awareness and preparedness. Students spent time with their teachers reviewing the importance of drills such as Shelter in Place; Run, Hide, Fight; Severe Weather and Fire Drills. This allows our students to review important procedures and protocols, if a true emergency were to take place in the building.

During Safety Week, we also had students practice one of our safety drills. On Tuesday, all students participated in a Shelter in Place drill. 

On Wednesday, our entire staff engaged in a training session with the White Lake Police Department after school to help us learn about policies, procedures, roles, and responsibilities in emergency situations. We also participated in simulations of emergency exercises such as Run, Hide, Fight.
