This morning, while setting up for our Remembrance Day assembly, a sprinkler head was damaged causing the fire alarm to activate. Waterloo Fire responded to the alarm and determined that there was no threat of fire and students were allowed to reenter the school.

There was some minor flooding in the cafeteria from the sprinkler system. The cafeteria remained off-limits to students this morning while staff cleaned up the water. Thank you to our custodial staff, with support from our facilities department, who had our cafeteria cleaned up quickly and available to students this afternoon.

We want to thank our Highlander staff and students for evacuating the school quickly and remaining calm during the alarm and for Waterloo Fire for keeping our school community safe.

Jennifer Shortreed,
Principal
