SES Families,
This morning a transformer in a nearby neighborhood blew, creating a loud noise similar to a gunshot. Our staff immediately brought all students inside the building while administrators contacted law enforcement. A police investigation determined the source of the noise and that students or staff were not in danger. The transformer issue did not disrupt power at the school.
We applaud our staff for their quick action in the interest of student safety and are proud of how our students conducted themselves during this stressful time. Thank you to our partners in law enforcement for their response and all they do to keep us safe.
Monday, October 11, 2021 is a School Holiday for Students!
