NORWICH – The Norwich High School and Middle School will have a half-day schedule today. Local emergency and first responders, in addition to school officials, will use this opportunity to conduct a training event at the High School-Middle School complex.

This training exercise – referred to by some sources as an 'intruder drill' – will begin at noon.

Some emergency vehicles and personnel will be in the area in the morning making preparations.

Training is expected to be completed by 3 p.m.

The public is asked to not be alarmed by the presence of police, fire and ambulances in that vicinity.
