Public schools in Ulster County will release students approximately 15 minutes early on Thursday, Nov. 6 as part of an annual drill that tests the evacuation procedures of each district’s Emergency Management/Disaster Preparedness Plan. The Commissioner of Education has mandated that this drill be conducted annually in all New York State public schools. All Ulster County public schools will be participating, including Ellenville, Highland, Kingston, New Paltz, Onteora, Rondout, Saugerties, Wallkill, and Ulster BOCES student programs. Local Ulster County schools ask that parents/guardians make appropriate arrangements for the early arrival of their children. Each participating district may provide parents with district-specific information regarding the evacuation drill's impact on bussing and afterschool activities.
