Drills As Far As I’m Concerned There Are No Drills!!! As Far As I’m Concerned “Drills” Are The Real Thing. Fire Drill – We’re quiet, windows shut, lights off, door shut, stay to right (lockers) out Door 15 towards JFK Evacuation- (Code Green) Repeat “Fire Drill” except we move to JFK Stadium not the parking lot.

Drills Lockdown- Intruder in building, doors locked, lights off, we move quietly to back corner, and remain quiet. Lockout – Suspicious person on school grounds, blinds are shut, windows are shut we repeat lockdown procedure but sit on the floor along the radiator. Shelter in Place- Repeat lockdown/out procedure, stay at desks and remain quiet. Code Blue- We go into shelter in place, there is a classroom with a possible serious injury.

Drills Remain Calm Remain Quiet Anyone who misbehaves will be immediately written up, and suspended A “Drill” is not over until we hear our “code”. If were in a Lockdown/Out or “SIP” and the fire alarm goes off, we stay until announcement is made.

Zap If you forget to do your homework you have 1 more day to make up assignment. If the assignment still is not complete after the extra night, you will be zapped. You will be pulled from your lunch period to complete the missing work. Once the assignment is complete, I will correct it and grade it, but you will lose an automatic 10 points for the assignment being late. Highest grade you can earn is a 90! Do not make a habit of this, because after 3, you are sent to AM Zap and then PM Zap.
