Safety Tips Keep a class roster for every class If someone leaves the room, make sure that they have a pass and that they sign out of the room and sign back in Students should only leave your class if it is an emergency Where do you place the class during a lock down or a drill Always look at the fire exit and take a class roll with you as you exit the building during a fire drill.
