We will then evacuate the school for reunification at the Fort Garland Museum. In order for the district to complete the drill, we ask that parents not arrive at the Museum until 3:15 at the earliest. Please park in an orderly manner in front of the museum. Please ensure that arrangements are made to have your student picked up between 3:15 and 4:00. Buses will NOT run on Thursday. Students will only be released to people who are listed on their emergency contact list unless other arrangements are made 24 hours in advance. Those people who are picking up students will need to have an official ID. Students will not be allowed to take their backpack or computers with them. If students need these items for the weekend, the school will reopen from 4:00-4:30 for students to collect their belongings. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Paine or Mr. Mizokami @ (719)379-3257.

Attention Parents:
On April 10, 2025, the Sierra Grande School District will conduct an unification drill involving the evacuation of the school. Parents will be required to pick up their children at the Fort Garland Museum.
The drill will begin with a school lockdown at 2:30 PM to ensure the building is secure, followed by the evacuation of students and staff to the Fort Garland Museum. Parents can pick up their children between 3:15 PM and 4:00 PM.
It is important that parents wait until the assigned pick-up times to allow us to complete the evacuation and drill procedures.
Only parents and individuals listed on the Contact Pick-Up List will be allowed to sign out students. Anyone picking up a child will need to present an official form of identification.
If you need to make alternative arrangements for someone not on your Contact Pick-Up List to pick up your child, please do so at least 24 hours in advance.
These drills are important in preparing our students for in the event of an emergency in the future.
Thank you for your cooperation!
