In the event of an emergency (fire, gas leak, etc.), the fire alarm will sound or someone will come to your classroom and tell you there is an emergency and to exit the building. Ultimately, it is each individual’s responsibility to make sure they get to where they are supposed to be; to assure this happens in an orderly manner, the following procedures are to be followed during classes:
If an emergency occurs between classes or during lunch, go directly to your car. After your parent or parent-in-charge has accounted for you, go to the back of the parking lot out of the way of emergency vehicles. Stay with your family. In the event of an earthquake, everyone should DROP, COVER, & HOLD ON. This means you should immediately drop under a sturdy desk or table, hold on, and protect your eyes by pressing your face against your arm. If there is no table or desk nearby, sit on the floor against an interior wall away from windows, bookcases, or tall furniture that could fall on you. It is important you stay away from any windows and remain in the room you are in until given further instructions. If the earthquake is severe and you are eventually told to exit the building, follow the procedures above. We may have unannounced emergency drills throughout the year.
