Monday is an extended homeroom with a planned earthquake drill during homeroom. During this time, staff and students will “Drop, Cover and Hold On” under their desks. The fire alarm will sound for everyone to evacuate to their homeroom location. Once there the buildings safety committee wanted to take an additional step and have all students gather at the football field.

Egalitarian Adviser and Safety Committee member David Nelson said “we need to know what it would look like to return every staff and student to the football field, if we couldn’t return to the building. Staff is pre-assigned tasks to include assessment, search and rescue, medical, utilities and student supervision to name a few.”

“We ask every student to take this drill serious as we see what the next steps need to be to ensure everyone is safe,” said Nelson.
