Warwick Valley schools to participate in early dismissal drills on Tuesday, Sept. 18

WARWICK — As a result of the injury and tragic loss of life to several Orange County children which occurred during severe weather conditions, the Commissioner of Education has mandated that all schools in the state develop an Emergency Management Plan and participate in an early dismissal drill on an annual basis.
The Warwick Valley School District has scheduled its annual test of the early dismissal drill for Tuesday, Sept. 18.
All pupils will be released fifteen minutes earlier than their normally scheduled time in order to test the early dismissal response of the district's Emergency Management Plan.
The P.M. section of the before/after school care programs will not be in session on this day.
Parents are advised to make appropriate arrangements for the early arrival of their children as a result of this drill.
