Good Morning Birch Lane Families,
This September 11th marks the 24th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. The day was officially designated as Patriot Day. On this national day of Service and Remembrance, we pay tribute to the heroes and victims who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and we recommit ourselves to the spirit of unity, patriotism, and service that carried our Nation through in the days that followed.
We are asking for all students and staff are asked to show their patriotism by wearing red, white and blue tomorrow. We will begin our day by observing a moment of silence to reflect upon the lives lost and the impact of that day.
In Remembrance and Unity,
Stephen Aspetti and Joyce Larkin

Good Morning Birch Lane Families,
Over the first few weeks of school and throughout the year, your children will be practicing several emergency drills, including fire, lockdown and secure lockout drills as required by New York State and our district. The purpose of practicing these procedures is for your children and our staff to have familiarity and comfort with the routines.
It is necessary for us to be prepared for any type of emergency. For all of our drills, students are advised and prepared by their teachers in a sensitive and grade appropriate manner. Some drills will be announced and others will be unannounced. If we do need to implement any procedure for an actual emergency, you will be notified.
