When the fire alarm rings, the students
and staff will immediately exit the
building. How do you know where to go?
You need to use the exit denoted on the
fire evacuation plan. This map is located
in your classrooms and a copy should be
in your “Grab and Go” bags.
What should you do if your designated
exit is blocked?
The staff should escort students to the
nearest alternate exit.
When the last student exits the classroom
during the fire drill, what should the
teacher check when leaving the room?
Make sure all classroom windows and
doors are closed. Turn of the lights when
leaving the room. Teachers should take
the “Grab and Go” Bag, grade book and
class roster.
After exiting the classroom, should the
teacher lock the classroom door?.
NO! Classroom doors should be left
unlocked.
Students should be evacuated at least 500
feet from the school and out of the fire
department’s way. The teacher takes
attendance. The teacher then needs to
hold up the green card or red card to
signify what?
Green Card means that all students are
accounted for.
Red Card means someone is missing or
there is another emergency issue.
What is the initiation announcement for
Shelter in Place?
Staff we are to evacuate to your
designated “Shelter in Place”.
Where do teachers take their students for
Shelter in Place?
Once they are in their designated place,
when can they leave?
Teachers will take their classes to the
gym. Once everyone is inside the shelter
in place, all exterior doors will be secured.
Remain in the shelter –in-place. Do not
leave until officials confirm it is safe to
evacuate the building
What is the initiation announcement for a
Bomb Threat?
Attention teachers and staff, we will now
practice the safe evacuation of the school
building?
There are six important procedures that
the teacher should know for a Bomb
Threat. What are they?
1. Tell students to turn off all cellular phones and pagers.
2. If time permits, students can gather personal
belongings like purses and jackets. All book bags
should be left in the classroom.
3. Teacher should virtually sweep the classroom. The
teacher should not touch suspicious items or the light
switch.
4. Teachers take the Grab and Go Bag, student roster and
attendance chart
5. All student personal belongings should be left at a
distance of 200 feet from the building.
6. All classroom doors should be left open and unlocked.
The teacher leaves the green card to
signify safe conditions or a red card to
signify suspicious conditions. Can the
teacher allow students to renter the room
or go outside the designated evacuation
area?
NO!
Do not allow anyone to reenter the
building or go anywhere besides the
designated evacuation area. You
must await further instructions from
administration on the order to
reoccupy the building or further
dismissal to new evacuation site off
campus.
What is the initiation announcement for a
tornado drill?
Attention teachers and staff, we will now
move to our Inclement Weather Safe
Shelter Locations.
What should students do during a
tornado drill?
Students should assume the “drop and
tuck” position which is to kneel or crouch
on their knees and elbows with their head
between their knees and their hands
clasped over the back of their heads.
When students are evacuated to the
hallways, can they be near windows or
doors?
NO! Stay away from the windows and
large open rooms like gyms and
auditoriums.
Can the classes in the trailers stay
outside?.
NO! These classes must come inside.
Teachers need to consult the Tornado
Safety Poster which is located in your
classroom to see what area to bring your
class to.
When can the students return to their
classrooms during the Tornado Drill?
Teachers must keep the students
assembled in the “drop and tuck”
positions and remain in the shelter area
until emergency personnel has issued an
all-clear signal.
What is the initiation signal for an
Intruder/Lockdown drill?
Code Red: “Students and staff, we
are in a CODE RED. Please
lockdown immediately by taking
appropriate actions.”
What steps must the teacher
immediately take during an
Intruder/Lockdown drill?
1. Move all students, staff, and identified visitors
into the nearest classroom, office, or secure
room.
2. Lock all interior and exterior doors
3. Have students crouch down and remain quiet.
Students who are physically unable to crouch
down can use a low chair.
4. Students in wheelchairs remain in their
wheelchairs.
5. Utilize Red, Green, and Blue Card procedures.
6. Use all movable furniture as a buffer between
students and doors/windows.
Teachers utilize Red, Green, and Blue
Card procedures by placing the cards in
the door window or under the door. They
also need to place a card on the exterior
window. What do the different colors
represent?
GREEN CARD: Everything is safe.
RED CARD: Emergency Assistance is
needed ASAP.
BLUE CARD: Assistance required for a
student with a disability.
What do emergency responders assume
when no card is displayed?
When NO CARD is displayed, emergency
responders will assume that an intruder is
in or near the classroom and a law
enforcement emergency response team
will enter that area. A LOCKDOWN SIGN
must be posted at the main entrance of
the school.
If the lockdown occurs during lunch or
change of classes, what must you ensure
should take place?
Students in the CAFETERIA must remain in the
cafeteria. Cafeteria doors are to be shut and move
students away from the windows to the storage
room in the back of the cafeteria.
Students in the COURTYARD AREA behind the
library should be directed to the shelter in place
area in the nearest trailer.
During a CLASS CHANGE students should be
directed immediately to the nearest classroom.
Once the classroom is secured, the teacher should
record the names of all students in his or her room
and continue to follow lockdown procedures.
