Evacuation (Fire) Alarm

·         When the fire alarm sounds, students will line up at the door. 

·         The last person in line will be responsible for closing the door. 

·         Together, the class will walk calmly into the bowl and line up for attendance. The fire alarm attendance sheet will be hanging next to the door. 

·         Students will not change their shoes, and will wear the shoes they have on their feet outside. 

·         If it is cold, students may quickly grab their coat from their locker, and put it on once we are outside. 

·         If a student is in the hallway during a fire alarm, they should rejoin our class, or the closest class they can find, until we are in the bowl where they should come directly to the teacher.

Code White

·         In the case of a code white, students will gather in front of the lockers in the classroom. 

·         They will sit silently, in their own space, as far away from the doors and windows as possible until further notice.

·         If a student is outside of the class during a code white, they must go into the closest class that they can find.
