Emergency Procedures

Students are taught emergency drills and procedures. These drills are practiced each month. Students never know when an emergency alarm is a drill or the real thing.

Help your child to understand the importance of:

1. Knowing the signals.

2. Knowing to exit quickly and without any talking.

3. Knowing to always listen to the teacher for directions.

4. Knowing to move to the nearest classroom/teacher immediately if the alarm sounds while he/she is in the hallway or restroom.

5. Knowing to report to the nearest teacher his/her name and what class they should be in so that the teacher will report the presence of the student to administration.

6. Knowing that emergency procedures remain in effect until the student is back in the classroom.

7. Knowing that the safe student is the thinking/alert student.

During emergency drills, all personnel must exit the building.  No phones are answered during these drills.
