Please be advised that we had an unscheduled fire drill this
morning at Beddington Heights School. The alarm sounded at 11:10 a.m. and
originated from the pull station by the upstairs boys’ washroom. Due to weather conditions, we moved students to
our evacuation location at St Bede School. Unfortunately this involved students
travelling to the evacuation location without coats and outdoor shoes. This was necessary as we were not aware of
whether we were facing a real fire.
This alarm was previously tested, and appeared to be fully
operational in December of 2014. Should this have been a prolonged evacuation,
teachers would have been contacting you using the student information that is
contained in their emergency backpacks. If there are any changes to your
emergency information please let us know as soon as possible.
It should be noted that students of Beddington Heights
represented our school well while at St.Bede’s. They also observed fire drill
protocol and exited the building in quick and efficient manner and it looks as
if they have learned a lot from our previous drills. Due to the fact the drill
happened during our lunch break we realize this may have caused some scheduling
concerns for families. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
If you have any further question please feel free to contact
us.
