Dear Parents & Guardians,

There are no words to express the despair and heartbreak coming out of the situation at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. Our entire nation mourns with the families devastated by this tragedy. Each building administrator in HVS has been asked to review his/her emergency plan to be certain staff members are aware of the content and procedures. Our emergency plans have been reviewed by Oakland County as well as the Michigan State Police Office of Emergency Preparedness, and we regularly update the plans throughout the school year.
