Dear Polo Community Unit School District Families,
Today, March 20th,, we had a staff member experience a medical emergency, which prompted a 911 call for emergency assistance. Polo Community High School went on medical lockdown. Students were held in their classrooms to allow medical professionals to work without interruption and provide staff privacy. At 12:57 pm, the school released the medical lockdown. Everyone is fine. Thank you to the Polo Ambulance Department!
