Emergency Plans

Emergencies

In the event of a fire, students will evacuate the building through the nearest outside exit, single file following one long ring of the fire alarm system. In the event of a tornado students will walk to the nearest hall and get in a crouched position facing the inner wall following a repeated on-off ring of the school bell system.  Teachers will review all other emergency procedures as outlined in the Crisis Management Plan with students during the first week of school.

Emergency Card

The emergency card completed at the beginning of each school year contains the information needed in the event of an accident or illness. It is imperative that the parents notify the office of any information changes that occur during the school year.

Crisis Management Plan

South Salem maintains an up to date Crisis Management Plan, which covers procedures to be followed during emergency and potentially dangerous situations. Each staff member has a copy of the plan. The plan will be reviewed with children at the beginning of the school year.
