Terra Alta/East Preston School

Wednesday, April 16, 2025, is our school-wide evacuation drill at approximately 1:30 pm. This drill will change our dismissal and parent pick up procedures for tomorrow only. School dismissal will occur at the usual time, but parent pick up will be located at the Terra Alta Youth Center located at 102 4th Street. All students who are parent pick up will be escorted (walked) to the Youth Center where they will be picked up by parents. All students who ride a bus will ride their bus home as usual. Please be aware route 7 may be congested during our drill as the police direct traffic to keep our students safe. This may also impact parent pick up. Your student's safety is our top priority, so your patience is appreciated tomorrow as we work through the logistics of the drill. Please remember to alert the office tomorrow by 1 pm of any changes to parent pick up. If you must pick up your student early you must do so by 1 pm tomorrow or you will have to wait and pick up the student at the Terra Alta Youth Center. The high temperatures for 4/16/25 are only expected to be in the mid-40s. We highly encourage all students to wear warm coats and appropriate walking footwear as the drill requires some outside walking to evacuation locations.
