DURING A LOCK-DOWN, DO NOT EVACUATE FROM THE CLASSROOM IF FIRE ALARM IS PULLED UNLESS TOLD TO DO SO BY OFFICE STAFF!

____1. Teachers are encouraged to remain calm and to attempt to keep the students quiet so all instructions from Incident Commanders (Principals) can be communicated.

____2. Teachers are to keep all students within the classroom, classroom door locked, classroom window and exterior windows covered. Students should be required to sit below the lowest level of the window until the evacuation begins.

____3. Classroom rosters/attendance book should be in the teacher’s possession. Teacher should get an accurate count of all students in case an evacuation should be required. Personal belongings that would impede the process of an evacuation should be left behind.

____4. Should an evacuation be required, teacher should order students to remain with them, while exiting the building in a quiet and orderly fashion. Should someone in the classroom be physically unable to evacuate themselves (i.e. wheelchair bound, crutches, etc.) assign a student(s) to aid those that will need the assistance.

____5. Teacher should appoint a student to aid in leading the evacuation from the building, by informing them of the correct exit to take. The teacher should be the final one to exit the classroom to make sure all students have exited.

____6. Once outside of the building, teacher should attempt to locate an administrator/INCIDENT COMMANDER. The teacher should direct students to the final evacuation spot (Community Trust Bank #) and inform the class to follow the direct route. ALL evacuation routes to final site should stay as clear as possible from the school building.

# Secondary evacuation location: ROCKCASTLE COUNTY MIDDLE SCHOOL

_____1. Students will be gathered with their teacher based upon which period school was evacuated.

_____2. Teachers will check attendance and notify the Incident Commanders (administration) if any students are absent following the transition to the evacuation area.

_____3. Teachers will also report any injuries sustained before or during the transition.

_____4. One of the Incident Commanders will make contact with the person in charge of the site in which the school members have been evacuated to.

_____5. School nurse will designate an area to be used for triage unit for treatment of any injuries sustained.

_____6. Once attendance is checked, teachers will be responsible for forming a perimeter around the school members to ensure that no one leaves the perimeter, nor no one enters the perimeter. Perimeter will be surveyed by the teachers to look out for safety concerns.

_____7. Incident commanders will appoint staff members to control traffic at the entrance of the evacuation site, to allow a free flow of any possible needed emergency vehicles.

LOCKDOWN

_____1. When hearing the word “LOCKDOWN” over the school’s public address system or phone intercom system, immediately lock your classroom door and double-check that any outside access door to your room is shut and LOCKED as well.

____2. Order all students into an area of the classroom that is less visible by anyone attempting to look into your classroom through the window of your classroom door. If your classroom has windows, make sure all students are below the lowest level of each window.

_____3. Make sure that ALL students are present and accounted for.

_____4. Turn classroom lights OFF. Secure all windows and close the window blinds.

____5. If a student left your classroom and has yet to return to your classroom after the LOCKDOWN was announced, please call the front office at extension 2600, if you receive a busy signal, dial552 to report the students missing and also report the destination in which the student left your class for.

____6. Once a LOCKDOWN is announced, students must stay in the area of the building in which they are located. However, if they are in the hallways, they are to remove themselves from the hallways immediately by entering a restroom, gym, or the front office- whichever is the closest for the student. Once entering that area they are to seek cover.

____7. Keep all classroom members QUIET, as an announcements regarding the LOCKDOWN process may be made either directly to the classroom by the public address system, or by the phone intercom system.

____8. Continue the LOCKDOWN process until advised to do otherwise by the office staff or law enforcement authorities.
