Fire Drill - At the sound of the alarm, scholars line up in an orderly fashion and follow the evacuation route posted in the room.

Lock Down Drill (threat inside the building) - At the announcement of a lock down, scholars will move away from doors and windows. Students in the hallway will enter the closest room. Teachers will lock doors, turn off lights, and cover windows. All instruction stops and everyone in the room must remain quite.

Lock Out/Modified or Soft Lock Down Drill (threat outside the building) - At the announcement of a lock out, scholars will return to their class. Students should not move through the hallway, but instruction may continue in the classroom.

Tornado Drill - Are executed on a nation-wide date. Teachers will be informed via the intercom that we are under a tornado warning. Teachers will accompany their students to the assigned area (exit off of 2nd floor) and instruct them to sit facing the wall with their head between their knees. If they have a coat they should pull it over their heads. Teachers should check their roll to determine that all students are present in the assigned area. An announcement will be made to return to class when the danger has passed.

Parents and guardians, please have conversations with your scholar about the importance of following all faculty/staff directions during safety drills.

As exams approach in the upcoming weeks, it's important to start preparing early to ensure success. Here are some tips that may help:

1. Start studying early: Don't wait until the last minute to start studying. Begin reviewing material at least a few weeks in advance.

2. Create a study schedule: Create a schedule that includes time for reviewing each subject and stick to it.

3. Practice with old exams: Try to obtain old exams and practice answering questions to get a feel for what will be expected on the exam.

4. Ask for help: If there are concepts you're struggling with, ask your teacher or a tutor for help.

5. Take care of yourself: Get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise. Your body and mind need to be in top shape for optimal performance.

Remember, preparing for exams is not just about getting a good grade. It's also about developing good study habits that will serve you well in college and beyond. The ONLY thing that is stopping YOU is YOU!!! GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAMS!!!
