FIRE AND TORNADO DRILLS
In compliance with the state fire law, at least one fire drill a month will be held. The alarm will be sounded from the office by ringing the bell continuously for as long as it takes students to clear the building.
Teachers throughout the halls will maintain order. Students will stay in line with no running or pushing. After leaving the building, each class must keep together so the teacher can check roll. Law requires this check. Any unaccounted for absences must be reported to the office immediately.
Directions for fire exits will be placed conspicuously in each room. Everyone should move IMMEDIATELY at least fifty feet away from exits. This is done to prevent congestion of lines on the stairs and in the doorways.
When leaving the room, move directly to the stairway nearest your exit. Move along the hallway wall nearest to your room. Do not cross the hallway or walk down the middle.

Tornado drills will be held three times a school year. When the tornado signal is sounded, all activity should stop immediately, and everyone should proceed single file to the designated shelter area.
