Fire, Lockdown,
High Wind/Tornado Drills

Fox Road students will participate in Fire Drills monthly. During this time, we teach them the importance of being quiet and listening so that they would be prepared in the event of a real fire. Once or twice during the year, we will also practice “Lockdown” drills. These would be used in case a potentially dangerous intruder was on campus or an event happened near enough to the school that we could be in danger. If the intruder is on campus, students would need to stay in their classrooms with lights out. If an event happened near the school, students would not be permitted to leave whichever building they are in, but would be free to move about. In March of each school year, we practice our High Winds/Tornado drill. During this, students crouch in designated areas, away from glass, with their heads covered.
