April is Emergency / Safety Preparedness Month:  

Are you and your family prepared?

Northwood High School is ready and regularly practices emergency and safety preparedness. However, once students leave campus, are they going to a place that is equally prepared? The Northwood High School PTSA’s Emergency Preparedness Committee believes that most families can improve their emergency / safety readiness.

Please attend an important presentation to learn more about Emergency Preparedness both at NHS and at home. Our featured speaker will be an internationally recognized expert on school and corporate security, Mr. Along Stivi. We’ll also hear about NHS’ emergency plans and the Irvine Community Emergency Response Team (“CERT”). Join us on Thursday, April 16th in the NHS Theatre, starting promptly at 6:30 p.m.  Mark your calendars and attend, we promise you will learn something!
