At approximately 12:45 the fire alarm sounded and we immediately evacuated the building.  The children remained outside on the fields for about fifteen minutes while the Fire department officials and District personnel checked the building. Once the Firemen and District maintenance personnel verified that the building was clear and safe, the children returned to the cafeteria and their classrooms. The children were safe and well supervised at all times.

Thank you
Francine Cuccia
Principal
