DRILLS -  EMERGENCY

Fire drills are held regularly to develop safety practices that will help students to move quickly and orderly to assigned safety areas during an emergency.  Rules of safety are reviewed regularly.  During a drill or an actual emergency, the personal safety of all students will depend on the way that students carry out these instructions.

Students, teachers, and other District employees will participate in drills of emergency procedures.  Maps posted in every classroom indicate the exit route for students and staff in that area.  When the alarm is sounded, students should follow the direction of teachers or marshals quickly, quietly, and in an orderly manner.
