Dear OTHS School Community,
Illinois School Code requires that schools conduct at least one law enforcement/lockdown drill to address a school shooting incident each academic year. OTHS does two drills annually. The second will take place on Tuesday, March 11.
Faculty, administration, and other District safety and security personnel will review procedures and answer students’ questions during the drill. The drill will not be an active shooter simulation or mimic an active shooter event in any way.
Parents/guardians, if you have concerns about your child participating in the drill, please discuss these concerns with your child and contact the school as necessary.
Thank you,
Mr. DeWalt
Associate Principal
Students being picked up after school will be picked up at the lower lots of Veteran’s Memorial Bridge, near the old Central School grounds.
Students may not be picked up on Main Street (in front of school or on the Fox River bridge), or in OTHS parking lots, as these areas will be closed to traffic 1 hour before dismissal until 1 hour after dismissal. School dismisses at 3:06 except for early dismissals due to professional development, weather, or other conditions which will be announced as needed.
