Emergency Codes

The following codes will be used to alert the faculty in emergency situations:

* Evacuate the building whenever the master alarm sounds. (Evacuate to designated areas)

* Lock Down - Clear all students from the hallways behind doors that can be locked immediately. Turn off the lights; close the blinds; place the appropriate colored sheet from your emergency packet in an outside window and slide the other under the door. Remain behind the locked door until the all clear is sounded. Be very quiet and remain out of the line of sight from all doors.

A Lock Down may be issued in the event of an intruder in the building. In these situations the office may initiate an intercom search for “Billy” to determine the location of the intruder. When a classroom is contacted by intercom, the following question will be asked “Is Billy here today?” The teacher will answer YES if the intruder is in the room, NO if the intruder is not.
