Emergency Procedures

Remind students that anytime the fire alarm sounds, they are to exit from the nearest door. Once outside, they should report as quickly as possible to their assigned homeroom location, as indicated on the map (download below).

Be sure to emphasize to students that they should always proceed to their meeting location anytime the fire alarm sounds, regardless of when that is.

When the alarm goes off during today's Advisory, escort your homeroom to your assigned location. Please note that locations may have changed from previous years. Don't forget to turn in a gold Fire Drill form once attendance has been taken outside.

After returning from the fire drill, go over the ALICE/Lockdown procedures with your homeroom. Remind students of the different types of lockdowns. Review the ALICE guidelines with the three options (barricade, evacuate, fight back) and when each is appropriate to use. Emphasize the need to listen to the adults present in a situation and to follow their directions. See the materials provided for more info (download below).

We will NOT be simulating an intruder drill today, however we do anticipate a few drills this year and will go over these procedures in more depth during an October Advisory.
