Tornado Drill
2019 03 20 Statewide Tornado Drill at MP

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As you may know, March 17-23, 2019, is Severe Weather Awareness Week in Ohio, and the state encourages all Ohioans to learn what to do in the event that there would be severe weather, such as tornadoes.  As part of Severe Weather Awareness Week, Ohio annually conducts a statewide tornado drill, generally on the Wednesday of that week, and the state encourages schools, businesses, and families to participate in the drill in order to practice their procedures in the event that this type of unwanted weather were to occur.

Because student and staff safety is our top priority, the Madison-Plains Local School District participated in the statewide drill this morning at 9:50 a.m.  The drill went smoothly, but we did discover that there are a couple of tweaks we would like to make to our procedures, and we will work to do that!  That is why we do the drills!

Here is a link to the Ohio.gov website that speaks to Ohio’s Severe Weather Awareness Week.

Again, student and staff safety is at the top of our priority list.  It is important that we review our procedures for these events.

Thank you for your support!

Have a wonderful day!

Sincerely,

Mr. Chad Eisler, Superintendent

Madison-Plains Local Schools
