This week, ESI will be practicing Emergency Drills. We will review all the updated Emergency Codes (formerly color codes) and the procedures that need to be followed by the staff and students. We are sending this message to give you a heads up. An advanced overhead announcement and prep done within the classroom will ensure that students are prepared for these practice drills.
