Dear JLA Families,
The safety and security of our students and staff remain our highest priority. As part of our emergency preparedness efforts, Judson Learning Academy will conduct a Lockdown Drill on October 6.

Safety drills provide students and staff with the opportunity to practice procedures that help keep everyone safe during an emergency. The exact time of the drill will not be announced in advance.

We encourage families to speak with their children about the importance of following staff directions and taking all safety drills seriously. Our goal is to ensure that students feel prepared, informed, and confident in the procedures designed to protect them.

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to maintain a safe learning environment for all students.

Sincerely,
Dr. De La Peña
Assistant Principal
Judson Learning Academy
