Dear Memorial Families,

It's hard to believe that our first month of school has come and gone and that it's October already!  I hope that everyone has settled in and that the year is off to a great start.

Bus Evacuation Drill - Tuesday, October 11th

Every year, the Memorial School students participate in a Bus Evacuation Drill as part of Massachusetts state requirements.  These drills, similar to our fire and safety drills, are designed to prepare students in the event of an emergency.  Bus evacuation drills are conducted by the bus driver with the assistance of the School Resource Officer.  The driver will explain the purpose of the drill, demonstrate the procedure and students will then practice leaving the bus via the emergency exits.
