CMS conducts safety lockdown drill for students and staff

In a recent broadcast at Coronado Unified, school officials emphasized the importance of safety drills, particularly a lockdown drill scheduled for the day. The drill, which follows a real lockdown incident earlier this year, aims to ensure that students and staff are well-prepared for emergencies. Principal Pardo reminded students that the drill is a practice and urged them to take it seriously. She instructed students to remain silent and follow their teachers' directions during the exercise, highlighting safety measures such as staying away from windows and entryways.

Following the lockdown drill announcement, the broadcast shifted to lighter topics, including a reminder for eighth graders about the upcoming deadline for baby ads in the yearbook. Parents can purchase these ads, which feature baby photos and messages, until April 22. This initiative allows families to celebrate their graduating students and reflect on their growth over the years.

The broadcast concluded with birthday wishes for several students, fostering a sense of community and connection among the school’s families. Overall, the meeting underscored the school’s commitment to safety while also celebrating student milestones, reinforcing the importance of both preparedness and community spirit in the Coronado Unified School District.
