Dear Horatio Parents and Guardians, Horatio Public Schools will conduct an annual mandated emergency drill sometime this week. This will involve local emergency response personnel. You are encouraged to speak with your children in advance and encourage them to follow their teachers' instructions during this drill. You will also be notified after the drill is completed so that you can have discussions at home with your children about school safety as well as safety plans you may have at your homes. Thank you, Gayla Youngblood Horatio School District Superintendent
