Updated Drills and Procedures
The state of Florida has revised its drill Story by Milan Sween and Molly procedures due to recent events Sing
Drills are a key part of keeping a school secure and safe, and they help assure that everyone knows what to do in case of a real emergency. For the 2019-2020 school year, the state department of Education and Brevard county have made some changes to make schools safer.
One example of a new procedure when the fire alarm sounds is students must now wait for further instructions, rather than immediately evacuating. After the alarm begins to sound, and announcement will be made, telling students and teachers what they should do. In most cases, they will be told to evacuate to Site A or Site B. It is possible some buildings will be told to evacuate to one site and some buildings the other.
When students and staff are told to evacuate to Site A, they go to the track with the teacher of the class you were in when the alarm sounded, rather than to your Tribe teacher, as in past years. If told to evacuate to Site A during Indian Time, students proceed to their fourth period teacher’s track number (see below).
After teachers and students arrive at their assigned track numbers, teachers will take roll and then wait for further instructions.
When told to evacuate to Site B, teachers will lead their classes to their designated Site B location, which is outside the buildings but reasonably close to their classroom location. Maps with each teacher’s Site B location are posted in classrooms.
As you are walk, it is important to listen for any additional information from your teacher and/or an official over the intercom.
A little while after
the other teachers
and their students
have all made it
to their spots and
taken the roll, you
will soon hear
someone over the
intercom tell you it
is now time to carefully head back to class and continue learning.
If there is unknown suspicious or police activity in the vicinity, the school will most likely be put into a shelter in place. The only difference between a shelter in place and normal operation is all students are asked to remain in the classroom.
If the situation worsens, there may be a lock down. During a lock down, all students and staff move to a protected corner of the room, away from any windows, and the door window will be covered. Teachers are not allowed to open their doors after a lock down has been announced, so if you are outside of a classroom during a lock down, look for a administrator or law enforcement and follow their instructions.
The most important thing to remember in any emergency is to be safe. Drills may be annoying and time-consuming, but they ensure we all know what to do during an actual dangerous event. Pay attention to where you are suppose to go, listen to instructions, and above all, be smart.
