Dear Parents and Students,

Good afternoon. I wanted to take this opportunity to inform you of an incident that occurred on our campus this morning. We had a medical emergency on our campus this morning involving one of our students. As a result, the student needed to be transported to the hospital via helicopter. As a precautionary measure and to protect and ensure the safety of all students, staff, and parents on our campus we went into a code lock-in while the helicopter landed, loaded, and departed with the student. During a code lock-in instruction continues without interruption. The most pronounced difference is that no students are out of the classroom at any time without adult supervision, and in this case, no students or adults were allowed outside of the buildings. This decision was made in an effort to minimize impact to students and to ensure their safety.

Student and staff safety is our number one priority here at Harmon Elementary School. If you have questions or concerns, as always, please feel free to contact me directly here at school. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and your children.

Sincerely

Chris Lineberry

Principal

Harmon Elementary School
