South Carolina law requires schools to conduct safety and emergency drills periodically throughout the school year.

• Fire Drills - An alarm will sound without warning.

  • Under the direct guidance and direction of the teacher or other staff member, students must exit the building quickly and quietly.  

  • Unless entrances are blocked, students must follow the designated exit schedule.  

  • Everyone must clear the building by at least 100 feet, and all fire lanes and driveways must remain clear.  

  • All students must remain with their teacher of record during the drill for attendance to be taken.  

  • No one may re-enter the building until an all clear is given by an administrator.  

  • Failure to follow procedures can result in disciplinary action.

• Other Drills - Students are to follow the directions of the administration and their teacher.
