Today students and staff participated in an emergency response drill.  Members of Groton and Dunstable Police Departments were on hand to participate and provide feedback to staff and students.  I am happy to say that our students did a great job.  Although it was made clear that todays exercise was a drill, this type of practice can cause anxiety in some students.  Please don't hesitate to talk with your students about these exercises.
