Dear Parents,
We successfully completed our first school safety drill yesterday. The State of Ohio requires three School Safety Drills each year in addition to our traditional fire and tornado drills. For this drill, our teachers and students practiced two events in our safety plan:
- Evacuation of the building including a discussion of alternate escape routes
- Reverse evacuation if outside and needing to get back in quickly
Students were instructed that in a real incident, they are to run so they no longer can see the building, then work their way to Karrer Middle School or Brigid’s Green, if they can do so safely. Once in a safe location, parents will be contacted. We also benefited today by having two members of the Dublin Police Department join us to observe and offer constructive feedback.
Several parents have requested some tips to use when talking to their children about school safety drills or violence in general. Below are several links with great suggestions for parents and teachers:
(Please keep in mind our drills utilize principles of A.L.I.C.E training and not lockdown trainings. If you have any questions about the safety drills we practice, feel free to contact Bruce McKenna at mr.mckenna@stbrigid-school.org)
As part of today’s drill, we also sent out a test email and phone notification to all parents. If you did not receive the test notifications via phone and email, please contact the school office at (614) 718-5825 or mrs.dorley@stbrigid-school.org. Thank you for your assistance in helping to keep our students safe.
Blessings,
Kathy O'Reilly
P.S. The Family Directory was made available yesterday. We have already received some changes from families. The most recent version will always be available on SchoolSpeak with a revised date. You may want to wait for a few days to print to allow time for changes/updates to take place.

Article: Comforting the Anxious Teen
|
“The good old days.” “The best years of our lives.” “Back when life was easy.” Sometimes we refer to our growing up years with more than a little nostalgia. Sure, we had things to worry about. We dealt with shifting emotions, changing bodies, challenges at home, and the pressure to live a better life than our parents did. But compared to the weighty responsibilities we carry as adults, the stress of our teen years was minimal.
Times have changed.
A recent study shows that 48% of young adults these days are diagnosable for a behavioral disorder like anxiety.
