Emergency Procedures

Regular Fire Drills are required by law and are an important safety precaution. One long continuous ring of the bell or alarm firebox system will alert all personnel. Routes for the nearest fire exit are posted in each room. Students should vacate the building in an orderly manner in a single file. Students should remain with the class so that the teacher may call roll.

Tornado Drills

Tornado Drills will be signaled by one long and one short ring of the bell repeated three times. Students are to follow their teacher, report to a designated area, and assume a curled position to protect eyes and head. Students must sit close together and remain quiet. Orderly evacuation to key areas is the safest policy for all concerned.

Bomb Threats

Students follow the same procedures as in a fire drill. Routes for the nearest fire exit are posted in each room. Students should vacate the building in an orderly manner in a single file, and should remain with the class so that the teacher may call roll. Students and faculty will remain outside until local safety officials have swept the campus.
