Parents and Guardians.... your child's safety is our utmost priority. Next week Wednesday on November 21st, we will do our annual safety drill practice, which will include a lockdown drill, a shelter in place, a fire drill, and an off-campus evacuation to Waimea Canyon park. Please note that we will not be doing an active shooter drill on this day.

I am sharing the slide deck that will be presented to all students via their advisory class that will review each of the drills to take place that day. Also in the slide deck is a link to a video called, "Run. Hide. Fight." that be shown in advisory. While we hope our students will never find themselves in a situation with an active shooter, we also want to be sure that they are prepared and know how to respond to keep themselves safe. Please talk to your son or daughter about safety and always being aware of their surroundings.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call the school at 338-6800. Thank you.

Mahina Anguay, WHS Principal
