Some of you did not receive the automated call this evening. here is the message:

The tragedy in Connecticut reminds us all of the importance of safety and security in schools. We want to assure our families that our school has an updated school safety plan. The members of our staff have been trained on the specifics of this plan, and we conduct periodic drills to ensure that everyone knows their role during a crisis. Our school also has specific protocol for entry to our schools, and we appreciate the understanding of our parents as we enforce these protocols for the safety of our children. The safety of our students remains our highest priority.

A company claiming to be the College Board is calling students in our area trying to sell SAT prep materials.  They are requesting $125.  DO NOT give this company your credit card information or buy services from them.  This is a scam.  Contact Jennifer Martin (812.883.3904) if you have questions.
