  • Classes exit the building at the nearest clear exit (per map) and gather at the basketball court.
  •  TAKE YOUR CLIPBOARD.
  • Parents will pick up their children at the basketball court.
  • Call 911 for injuries
  • Desk person makes sure double doors are closed and goes to the nursery to assist.

Tornado

• In the case of Tornado or severe weather sirens will go off and we will get alerts on our phones.

  • TAKE YOUR CLIPBOARD.

Evacuation/Active Shooter

• In the event that a violent intruder/active shooter enters the building the first response should be to get out of the building and away from the danger.  Air horns located at the check-in desk, the kids ministry office, in the barn and in the main church office.  Air horns will be sounded as soon as an intruder is spotted.  
  • Classes will evacuate to the basketball court, hide behind the trees/hill.  
  • TAKE YOUR CLIPBOARD. 
  •  When given the all clear, release children to parents that have come down to the courts or go back to your classroom.  
  • If parents come to the basketball court to get their child, they should be encouraged (not forced) to stay and hide with the class until the “all clear” is given.
  • If you can not evacuate, SHUT THE DOOR ASAP.  Lock the door and use the door stop beside the door to barricade the door.  If your door has a window, hide against the door wall. 

Medical Emergency

• Lead Teacher will take control and ask someone to call 911. 
  • Assistant will remove the rest of the children from the area
