EMERGENCY PROCEDURES AT SCHOOL

We hope that we never have an emergency that develops to the extent that the following procedures must be implemented, but as a precaution, please become familiar with the following procedures. In all emergency situations, students should follow the direction of their teacher and walk quickly, quietly, and in an orderly manner when directed to do so. Class groups must stay together to enable teachers to check rosters. An administrator will indicate when students may return to class.

Bomb Threats
The Lamphere Schools has an emergency plan for bomb threats. Lamphere considers ALL threats of this nature serious. As such, we will take appropriate action so as not to compromise the safety, welfare and security of the students and staff. Lamphere will require restitution and take severe disciplinary action against any student who is in any way involved in a bomb threat. Students will also be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Fire Procedures
All schools in the Lamphere District have been built to comply with the fire code prescribed by the State Fire Marshall. Each school holds a minimum of five fire drills each school year. These drills serve to train our students so they will know exactly what to do in the event a fire should occur. Fire exits are indicated in each room and there is an assigned route for leaving the building. When the fire alarm rings, students should follow the assigned route, which will take them 200 feet from the building to prevent interference with fire safety personnel. The Madison Heights Fire Department established the standards for all safety procedures used in our schools.
School Lockdown Drills
The Michigan Legislature passed a statute requiring K-12 schools to conduct at least three drills per year in which the building is secured and the occupants are restricted to the interior. Such drills must include security measures appropriate to a HAZMAT spill or the presence of an armed individual and one drill must take place during recess, lunch and/or passing time in the hallways. The Lamphere Schools works in partnership with both the Madison Heights Police and Fire Departments to conduct these required drills to prepare our students in the event of an emergency.
