Emergency drills conducted

Emergencies at schools can happen at any time and that is why we want our students and staff to be prepared to handle them safely and effectively. 

We conduct several emergency drills throughout the school year. 

• Fire and tornado drills are conducted in all schools according to the regulations of the State of South Carolina. A minimum of one fire drill per month and at least one annual tornado drill is held in each school building. 

• Intruder drills are conducted in all schools within the first 15 days of  first and second semester of each school year.

• Earthquake drills are conducted in all schools during the month of November.

• Our bus drivers are required to conduct bus emergency evacuation drills with all students and teachers twice per year. Once within the first 10 school days of the first semester and again within the first 10 school days of the second semester.
