We want to communicate with parents and the community about the unexpected Lockdown at the JH/HS building this morning. Sonitrol was replacing the battery in a panic button and tested the button which set off the Lockdown alarm. We were not aware this was going to happen. There was no emergency. We apologize for any worry this caused. On a positive note, everyone in the building reacted accordingly within seconds. We want to give praise to the staff and students for being prepared and taking the alarm seriously.
