THE DALLES — North Wasco County School District will conduct its first Reunification Functional Exercise on Monday, June 15, from 8 a.m. to noon at Innovations Academy (Wahtonka Campus). The exercise is part of the district’s ongoing commitment to school safety and emergency preparedness.

The functional exercise will use guidance from the I Love U Guys Foundation Standard Reunification Method, a nationally recognized protocol designed to safely and efficiently reunite students with their families following a significant emergency. District Office staff and community partners will practice roles, communication procedures, and logistics that would be required during an actual incident.
