JOHN H. FULLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
EVACUATION PLAN

 

This plan has been developed to ensure the safety of our students and staff in the event that circumstances develop which require a school evacuation. A safe school evacuation would be necessary in response to a variety of situations which could include fire, bomb threat, toxic spill, loss of electric power, heat, etc.


The Principal (or designee) will:
1. Activate the procedures by informing staff and students of the situation and the initial instructions. This shall be communicated by the method deemed most appropriate for the situation.
2. Notify the necessary agencies/parties about the situation:
3. Be responsible for the safety and welfare of all children, staff and visitors.
4. Be responsible for the protection of school property until the proper authorities assume full command.
5. Ensure that initial instructions are being followed in a safe and orderly manner.
6. Notify parents of the situation through the media, if possible and appropriate, to disseminate telephone numbers and student pick-up information.


Classroom teachers will:
1. Follow initial instructions maintaining student safety.
2. Follow appropriate evacuation proceedings if called for.
3. Get students in coats during the evacuation, as students should be prepared for at least one-half hour of inclement weather.
4. All teachers must have an emergency folder with them on all evacuation situations. This folder must contain attendance information, this protocol and any other pertinent information in it.
5. Maintain accurate attendance records of their class throughout the situation
6. Only release students to parents or designees once all classrooms and students are accounted for at the evacuation site.
7. Keep written record of discharge information.
8. Each classroom should have a neighbor class to help account for people and to help out in any way needed.
9. Teacher should periodically remind their students not to cover their ears in the event of an alarm. Students must be able to hear any directions or information that is given out.
10. Teachers should take a first aid pack with them on any evacuation situation.

The evacuation site for Fuller School students is the Keene Recreation Center.
