FIRE/EMERGENCY DRILLS
Fire/emergency evacuation drills teach students what to do in case of a real
emergency. These drills are for your protection. The signal for an evacuation is
an auditory alarm with verbal instructions, as well as the flashing of lights.
Every person must evacuate the building.
- Directions for exiting the building are posted near the door of each
classroom/room in the building.
- There should be no talking during a drill.
- Walk rapidly–no running.
- Keep together. Meet outside as a class in an area designated by your
teacher. Attendance will be taken.
- If the alarm sounds while changing classes, exit by the nearest door
and then report to the area designated for your next period class to
assemble.
- If the alarm sounds during lunch, all students in the cafeteria should
exit the building through the Auxiliary Cafeteria hallway and report to
the basketball court behind the tennis courts. Students should wait
there for their 3rd block teachers to take their attendance and verify
that they are out of the building.
- Leave belongings such as books and papers in the room.
