Fire Drills/Emergency Evacuations Protocol
Procedures for Fire Drills/Emergency Evacuations
In the event of an emergency in which the evacuation of the school building is required, or in
fire/emergency drills preparing for building evacuations, the following procedures must be
followed:
1. At the sound of the emergency alarm, all staff and students must immediately exit the building
via the designated stairwell for their current/classroom location. (See Map/Table below.)
2. Teachers are to remain with their students at all times during the fire drill/building evacuation.
3. Students are not permitted to go to their lockers to retrieve coats/jackets before leaving the
building.
4. Teachers must take a copy of their class roster with them. Upon arrival at the designated meeting
location, teachers are required to take attendance to ensure all students are accounted for.
5. Security, administrators, and members of the discipline team will assist with evacuation of the
building during the fire drill or emergency evacuation.
6. Once an “all clear” has been provided by Vice-Principal Long, security, administrators, and the
discipline team will instruct students and staff to re-enter the building.
