These forums will be facilitated by WMS Assistant Principal, Phil Oates, and Weston Police Detective Kellie Connarton. WHS Assistant Principal Kelly Flynn will also be at the forum.
Weston High School, along with the Weston Police Department, will conduct a student training in ALICE drills on Wednesday, November 14th, from 10-11:15.
We will be participating in ALICE drills as a school.  ALICE is an acronym that empowers students and teachers to act in a hostile environment:

A – Alert

L – Lockdown

I – Inform

C – Counter

E – Evacuate
