At approx. 8:30 AM (current time), Tuesday, December 10th, 2024, an event, unknown to students, kicked-off at Kingwood Elementary School that should result in the school going into lockdown. This is a planned DRILL in cooperation with school admin, county admin, safety/security director, and the law enforcement, to better prepare our students and staff in the event of an actual emergency. If you receive communication from your student during this time, or hear or see chatter on social media, again THIS IS ONLY A DRILL. We hope that this training and continued training for our students will better prepare them and our staff in the event of an actual emergency.
