If a code RED is announced during passing time or other free time, students are to report to the closest classroom. Classes that are outside should move to a safe area away from any disturbance. Teachers will have each student sign in and a courier will pick up sign-in sheets so attendance can be checked. If a serious situation exists that requires students to evacuate the building in an unorganized fashion, students should report to one of three designated safe-areas so that attendance can be taken. Staff members will be assigned to coordinate student identification at these sites.
All exterior doors are to be locked and monitored until the emergency subsides.
All clear or code green indicates that normal classroom activity may resume. Indicates a situation exists calling for orderly evacuation of the school building. Each interior door is to be closed after the room has been checked and found to be clear. Teachers are to keep their classes intact in a predetermined safe area. In case of immediate danger due to a tornado or other severe storm, an announcement will be made, windows and doors should be opened, and students should go into the hall and sit with their back to the wall with arms folded across knees and head resting on knees.
