EMERGENCY DRILLS
The signal for a fire evacuation will be a loud buzzing of the fire alarm. When this signal is sounded, all students and staff will stop all work and walk silently in line out of the building. They should follow the fire evacuation route map posted in every room. Students will remain with their class until the signal is given to re-enter the building. Fire drills are conducted on a monthly basis.
Tornado, earthquake, and lockdown/intruder drills will occur throughout the year. Students will be informed of the correct procedures for each drill. During any drill, all students and staff will go immediately to designated safety areas and follow procedures. It is extremely important for all students to remain quiet and orderly during any emergency drill. Panic and confusion during an emergency can cause injuries or fatalities.
