Community Safety Meeting Planned At Hammond Middle

From the Howard County Public School System: In an effort for continued open dialogue between our community, we would like to invite all parents and guardians of Hammond Middle and Hammond Elementary School students to a meeting at Hammond Middle School on April 9th at 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria.

This dialogue is open to parents and guardians interested in learning about the security processes in place when an event or threat occurs. Media and outside groups will not be permitted inside the meeting space to ensure that our dialogue can be open and effective and to respect your privacy during this conversation.

The following people will be in attendance to share their perspectives and take questions:

• Thomas McNeal, HCPSS Director of Security, Emergency Preparedness and Response

• Marcy Leonard, HCPSS Community Superintendent – Area 1

• Aaron Dale, HMS Principal

• Kimberlyn Pratesi, HES Principal

Our objective is to build confidence and effectively communicate to our immediate community that student and staff safety is our primary concern when a potential threat is discovered and that there are extensive measures in place to ensure safety. Your input to this effort is vital as we move forward.

When: Tuesday, April 9 at 6:30pm

Where: HMS Cafeteria
