Dear Annawan School Community,
I want to provide a brief update regarding the soft lockdown that took place this afternoon at Annawan Schools.
We train our staff that if they see something that may be a concern, they should say something. Today, one of those situations occurred. A staff member appropriately reported an external concern to administration, and the school was immediately placed in a soft lockdown while the situation was investigated.
During a soft lockdown, exterior and classroom doors are secured and students remain in their classrooms while normal activities continue as appropriate. With the assistance of local law enforcement and the use of our video technology, the concern was investigated and the soft lockdown was lifted.
I want to commend our staff for identifying a potential concern and responding calmly and professionally. Our students also did an excellent job following directions and handling the situation appropriately.
As always, we take any potential safety concern seriously. The well-being of our students and staff remains our highest priority. I also understand that receiving a message about a lockdown can be concerning for parents and guardians, and I appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to make careful decisions with student and staff safety in mind.
Dismissal will be regular time and with regular procedures.
Thank you for your continued support of Annawan Schools.
Jamie Bryan
Superintendent

Each day at least one student comes to the nurse's office seeking a pair of tennis shoes. Sometimes it's because they forgot to bring them for PE. But sometimes, for various reasons, they just need a pair of shoes.

We are looking for donations of gently used girls/youth tennis shoes sizes, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3. Right now these are the greatest needs, but any donation is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your donation,
Mrs. Gray, School Nurse

If you have questions or concerns regarding the drill, please feel free to contact your child’s principal.
Thank you for your continued partnership in helping us maintain a safe and prepared school environment.
