Bear Valley schools to hold ShakeOut earthquake drill Thursday, Oct. 29

All Bear Valley schools will take part in the Great California ShakeOut earthquake preparedness drill on Thursday, October 29, at 10:25 a.m., after the drill was rescheduled, according to a notice from Bear Valley Unified School District.^[1] The district's message to families describes the drill as "rescheduled for tomorrow," meaning the new date applies to students and staff across the district's campuses.^[1] For Big Bear Valley families, the change means students will practice earthquake safety steps at school at that time on Thursday, so parents who planned around the original date should note the new one.

The district posted the notice on its BVUSD News feed, addressed to "BVUSD Families."^[1] The portion of the notice available to Big Bear News does not say what prompted the reschedule or what the drill will involve at individual campuses. Families with questions about their child's school can contact the school site or the district office directly.
