EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Students will be instructed and involved in practice drills throughout the school year so they will be prepared for emergency procedures including fires, tornados, and lockdowns.
Fire 1. Fire Alarm – Continuous ringing of the bell with instructions over the speaker system, “CLEAR THE BUILDING.” 2. When the alarm sounds, the students are to leave the room in a single file line under the supervision of the teacher and report to a predetermined meeting area outside the building. Tornado 1. Tornado Alarm – Three short rings of the bell with instructions over the speaker system, “TORNADO POSITIONS.” 2. When the alarm sounds, the students are to leave the room in a single file line under the supervision of the teacher. 3. Students are to sit in the floor at their assigned area facing the wall with their head down inside the knees and arms over their head. No one is to be up and moving around. 4. When the all-clear signal of multiple short rings sounds, the students may return to class in an orderly manner. Lockdown 1. The administration and office staff will make an announcement over the intercom and double check to ensure all outside doors are locked. Teachers will close blinds and lock classroom doors. 2. Students are not to leave their room. Everyone will be instructed to maintain silence and keep away from doors and windows. 3. All bells should be disregarded during a period of lock-down. 4. Students are to remain in their room until the all-clear signal is given by the administration.
