This afternoon Mokena Elementary School conducted its annual required lockdown drill. Students and staff did a great job in responding to the prompts required of the drill. A 911 call was placed and first responders activated in response to the drill as well. Our Mokena Police Department’s response was immediate. Please know that our students and staff are safe, and that any observed law enforcement response was not for an actual incident. The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. Please contact the District if you have any questions or concerns.
3rd Graders are working hard on this hot day! In math, students are creating division sentences with hands-on counters. In ELA, students are collaborating in groups to summarize stories using a graphic organizer. Keep up the great work!
