Emergency Preparedness & Great ShakeOut
Great ShakeOut: October 15, 2026The safety of our students and staff is a top priority. LCE works closely with LCUSD and local first responders to maintain comprehensive emergency preparedness plans and conduct regular safety drills throughout the school year.
The LCE PTA supports these efforts by helping provide emergency supplies and resources as funding allows. Please mark your calendar for the Great Shake Out on October 15, 2026.
