Be Prepared!! - Review Emergency Protocols
This is the time of year that severe weather tends to occur in our area.
Be sure to review emergency protocols with your team to be prepared for any drills or actual crises. Make sure that materials are highly visible and easily accessible to substitutes. Team members should be aware of any substitutes present and make sure to provide support in case emergency protocols are needed for any reason.
