PUSD is proud of its students at McKinley School of the Arts and throughout the District for taking part in the Great ShakeOut. No one was the least bit “rattled” by emergency alert testing either. students, faculty and staff practiced Drop, Cover, and Hold On procedures, and evacuated to designated areas. The drill was designed to simulate the proper steps to reduce potential injury and death in the event of a real earthquake. Minutes before the drill, participants were notified with safety information via text messages through the campus’ emergency notification system.
