8.0) EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
8.1) Fire Drills:
Throughout the school year we will have several fire drills. You will receive instructions from your respective teacher as to where you will proceed with your class in the event of a fire drill. Our fire drills will be conducted in a quiet and orderly fashion.
The following general regulations pertain to a fire drill:
1. Go in a single file and as quiet as possible.
2. First student leaving building holds doors open for rest of students.
3. Students by windows close them before leaving.
4. Last one out of the room turn off lights and CLOSE THE DOOR.
5. Last one out of the OUTSIDE EXITS close them.
6. Wait for the all clear from administration before entering the building.
7. Return in single file and return to class quietly.
Tornado drills will be used as deemed necessary. Shelter areas will be located under the walkways in the old gym area. Special practice sessions will be held each spring to acquaint students with respective areas of safety. See appendix for exact procedures.
School cancellation or general announcements necessary because of inclement weather conditions will be broadcast over the stations KFAB-Omaha, KHUB - Fremont, and West Point - AM 84. Students that are unable to get to school because of weather or road conditions that are unique to their area will not be counted absent for the time they are gone from school provided the parents notify the school in advance of the absence. If it becomes necessary to remain in town due to bad weather, students should notify parents as well as the office as to where you are staying.
