Safety Drills:
Each year we are required by law to do 9 fire drills, a lock down drill, evacuation drill and a scenario drill. We are also required to do tornado drills during the months of March, April, May and June. An evacuation drill involves the students running away from the building and arriving at a rally point. This drill will involve our students running to the corner of Cherry Street and Franklin Ave. The road is alway blocked off by the police. The scenario drill requires staff and students to decide if they need to evacuate the building or remain locked down, depending on the information that they know.
