Elementary and secondary students may purchase hot and cold meals in our district's schools. For further information call 874-1105. The William Floyd School District and each of its schools maintain an Emergency Plan to insure the safety and health of students and staff. Our Superintendent of Schools is the district-wide emergency coordinator and each principal is the individual school building's emergency coordinator.
Students generally are familiar with a number of aspects related to school emergency plans.
Schools conduct a dozen fire drills and several school bus safety drills each year to highlight the need to be prepared to respond to emergencies. Announcements about the district's response to hazardous weather, such as school closings, are made over local radio stations . The Emergency Plan, as per the Commissioner of Education's regulations, also requires an annual drill which tests the early dismissal and sheltering aspects of the plan. These drills are scheduled by each building principal and specific information regarding drills will be sent to parents. Special programs in the schools, as well as health and safety classroom instruction, also seek to provide students with an awareness and knowledge of responses to varied emergencies.
