Emergency Response Plan

We are in compliance with N.J.S.A. 18A:41‐1. It is anticipated that lockdown and/or evacuation drills will be conducted during the school year. Faculty and staff are prepared to facilitate the successful completion of these drills. Students are to follow the directions of their teachers at all times during these drills to assist classes out of the building in a timely and orderly manner. The Northern Valley‐Demarest emergency lockdown and/or evacuation response plan is in compliance with the local police response plan. Additionally, fire drills are conducted at regular intervals throughout the school year.

Lunch Evacuation Plan

In the event that the building must be evacuated during or in between classes, the following announcement will be made “Evacuate the building now. Evacuate the building now.” Students and faculty should exit the building via the closest fire exit and move outside the “Building Fall Zone.” Once outside the building students shall follow the instructions of the teachers and Crisis Management Team (CMT). The teachers and CMT may instruct the students to evacuate to another location. Once the students arrive at the designated assembly area they should locate their teachers for attendance. If during lunch, students should locate their slot 4, period 5 (A‐D) teachers. If in between classes, students should locate the teacher whose class they are moving to.
