Room Evacuation Procedures

 

Teachers

¨      Upon hearing the alarm system, immediately turn on your radio.

¨      Have students leave the room in an orderly manner.

¨      If a student is to be left in the room (seriously injured or trapped), hang the red card from the Emergency Back Pack on the outside door handle.  This marks the room as “not clear.”

¨      The teacher should exit the room last to insure all students are out (except those which cannot be moved), taking the Emergency Back Pack and class roll.

¨      Report with the class to the assigned field area and quickly take roll or do a head count to see if any additional students are missing.

¨      Hold up the red card if a student is missing or a student has been left in the room.  If visibility is blocked for some reason, then use your radio to communicate this information to your principal.  Hold up the white card if all students are present with you on the field (no one is left in the room and no one is missing).

¨      If someone has been left in the room or is missing, use the form in your Emergency Back Pack and have a runner immediately take it to your principal.  Elementary School teachers should not send a runner, but should give the form to the office secretary that will come by to receive it.  It is imperative that this step be performed as quickly as possible.

¨      Remain with your students and await further instructions.
