SAFETY DRILLS

SAFETY DRILLS IN SCHOOL

FIRE DRILLS

Monthly fire drills during the school year are required by law. 

• A fire evacuation plan is posted in each room. 

• Students should study the plan and become familiar with it.

When the fire alarm sounds, students will evacuate the building following the prescribed route. 

• Running is not permitted. 

• The first student to reach an outside door is to hold it open until all have left the building. 

• Students are to remain at least 50 feet away from the building until the signal is given to re-enter.

An annual tornado drill is conducted towards the end of April in conjunction with Severe Weather Alert Week.
