We just wanted to inform you that we just had a "hold in place" in our building. A 'hold in place" is used to limit foot traffic in the hallways when privacy is needed. Today's was in order to get medical personnel into the building to assist a staff member. Everything is fine and the individual is in good hands. But we wanted to keep everyone in the loop in case your child has questions.
