Community Members:
In alignment with Proposition Secure Our Students (S.O.S April 6, 2021), storm shelters at Pate, Robinson, and the Jr. High will be open to the public when school is not in session. The doors will be opened by district staff in the event the tornado sirens are sounded. Hopefully, there will be no need for use, but the District honors the commitment made during the bond campaign. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Stay safe.
Sincerely,
Aurora R-8 Schools
