Storm Warning

The principal of each school is required to observe area weather warnings. In extreme weather conditions, the maximum safety of the students will be within the discretion of the individual principal.

Each school is required to have one fire drill per month. At the sound of the alarm, everyone is required to leave the building as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Students are not to run or talk while the drill is in progress. The children are to be far enough away from the building so that they will not interfere with the Fire Department. After arriving outdoors, the teachers are to count or take roll to be sure that no student is missing.
