Safety Drills S.O.A.R Expectations

The safety drills expectations teach students how to respond quickly, calmly, and responsibly during practice drills such as fire drills, lockdowns, or other emergency situations. Students are expected to listen carefully to directions from staff, follow procedures immediately, remain quiet, and stay with their class at all times. These expectations help ensure that everyone understands what to do in an emergency and can respond in a safe and organized way.

Families can support these expectations by talking with their children about the importance of taking safety drills seriously and following adult directions. Reassuring children that drills are practiced to keep everyone safe can help reduce anxiety and build confidence. Encouraging calm behavior, careful listening, and responsibility helps students feel prepared and supports a safe school environment for all.
