Etiwanda's Maintenance and Operations Department will partner with Time and Alarm, our security monitoring company, to test our school alarm systems on December 23-24, 2024.

Local authorities have been informed to prevent miscommunication. Thank you for your understanding as we work to maintain a safe environment for everyone.
