Unless previous notice has been give, every ringing of the fire alarm means that everyone is required to leave the school building. Students proceed directly outside and do not stop to pick up clothes or equipment. They do not return to their room to find the rest of the class. Students proceed in a single file walking, and without speaking to the exit as outlined by their teacher. Students line up on the hard top at a designated area.
Silence is absolutely necessary in the event of further instructions.
Pupils do not re-enter the building until the usual signal of two bells is given. If for any medical reason a child cannot go out for recess for an extended period of time, a note from the doctor should be sent to the school with notification of the health problem. Students should go directly home at dismissal times unless previous arrangements have been made with parents. Those student who wish to play on the playground after school, should first report home or sitters. Depending on how many children are absent and the type of information the Callback volunteer has for each child, a volunteer can put in an extensive amount of time attempting to locate one or more absent children.
