Camp Mohave Families,
We held our 2nd lockdown drill of the year today. This drill was much more efficient and completed with fewer issues than our initial drill earlier in the year. As always, we continue to monitor the procedure and adjust as needed to ensure safe and timely response to any potential emergency that may arise. Thank you for continuing to be a part of the Coyote Family.

We are incredibly proud of our hard-working students and staff, who have put forth their best efforts under extremely difficult conditions.

CMES would like to let parents know that we held our first lockdown drill of the school year this afternoon. The students responded well and the campus was secured quickly. Security checks were completed by administration with a deputy from MCSO. The information gathered from today's drill will be used to improve procedures going forward.
On another note, the school has upgraded the visitor and parent pick-up procedure. Using Verkada Guest, all people visiting and picking up students, will need to present an identification to be scanned. This will be true for all parents and guests whether you are known to us or not. Please do not attempt to visit or pickup without having your identification.
Thank you for continuing to support CMES as we implement new procedures to improve the safety of all students and staff.

Coyote Families,
In response to the needs of the kids and some concerns that they are already dealing with some anxiety due to storms and power outages, the lockdown scheduled for this week will be pushed back prevent overwhelming any of the kids. The specific date is not determined, but will be finalized as our community gets back to normal after this past weekend. Hopefully, this will be before the end of next week, but we want flexibility in case circumstances warrant. Classes have previously discussed procedures. So, the drill would just be practicing those procedures. Thank you for continuing to support CMES. Please email Mr. Cottrell at cottrellr@mvdistrict.net with any questions.

With the storm this weekend, we were not able to notify parents and families of our upcoming lockdown drill. This week students and staff will be practicing to ensure procedures are known by all students and staff. Additionally, we use drills to identify procedures that can be improved. If you have any questions, please email Mr. Cottrell at cottrellr@mvdistrict.net. Thank you and everyone be safe.

Parents and Guardians,
I hope this message finds you and your family well in light of the recent storm. We have been closely evaluating all of our schools and their conditions. At this time, all schools have power and are being mitigated for any safety concerns, and as a result, MVESD will be on a regular schedule tomorrow (9/6/2022). Please know we are sensitive to your circumstances and will provide maximum flexibility when it comes to you and your child. We will continue to communicate if unexpected circumstances arise and ask for your understanding and flexibility as we go into the week, knowing our staff members were also affected personally by this weather event.
Hoping for the best when it comes to you, your family, our District, and our community.
Please communicate with us if you should need anything.
