A message from the safety committee:

“End of the school year can be busy and hectic for everyone so we want to encourage staff to work safely, especially those that will be packing their classrooms to move to another classroom or school, moving classroom desks’ for summer cleaning, retiring, or leaving the district. 

With back injuries, slips, trips, and falls being the most common injury in the district, we ask that you work safely by using proper lifting techniques and by watching for any trip hazards. To assist you, we provided two information handouts on proper lifting techniques (click here) and slip, trip, and fall prevention guideline (click here).

Thank you and have an enjoyable summer.”​
