Our community should be made aware of the extraordinary job that was done by the administration and staff at Edna Maguire School on November 1 during the lockdown situation.  Principal Lisa Zimmer, School Secretary Leslie Fielder, and the teachers of our school remained professional and calm during an incredibly tense and stressful time.  These people should be commended for their actions, and should be examples in our District of how to respond during a crisis.

Lisa Zimmer's leadership during this time was amazing, and the Edna Maguire community is deeply grateful.  Leslie Fielder provided information via phone and email throughout the ordeal, and offered advice and strength throughout.  The teachers followed established protocol, and ensured that our children felt safe.

The Edna Maguire PTA is working together with Principal Zimmer to establish an Emergency Procedure and Protocol for Parents.  Please look for this information in your Wednesday Folders and on the website soon.
