SAFETY
Student safety on campus and at school-related events is a high priority of the district.
Although the district has implemented safety procedures, the cooperation of students is
essential to ensure school safety. A student should:
Avoid conduct that is likely to put the student or other students at risk.
Follow the behavioral standards in this handbook and the student code of conduct,
as well as any additional rules for behavior and safety set by the principal, teachers,
or bus drivers.
Remain alert to and promptly report to a teacher or the principal safety hazards,
such as intruders on campus and threats made by any person toward a student or
staff member.
Know emergency evacuation routes and signals.
Follow immediately the instructions of teachers, bus drivers, and other district
employees who are overseeing the welfare of students.
Accident Insurance
Soon after school opens, parents will have the opportunity to purchase low-cost accident
insurance that will help in meeting medical expenses, in the event of injury to their child.
Drills: Fire, Tornado, and other Emergencies
From time to time, students, teachers, and other district employees will participate in
drills of emergency procedures. When the alarm is sounded, students should follow the
direction of teachers or others in charge quickly, quietly, and in an orderly manner.
Emergency Bells
3 bells
fire; leave the building
1 bell
halt; stand at attention
2 bells
return to the room
There is also an emergency alarm system consisting of a high frequency tone and flashing
lights.
Emergency Medical Treatment and Information
If a student has a medical emergency at school or a school-related activity when the
parent cannot be reached, the school will need to have written parental consent to obtain
emergency medical treatment and information about allergies to medications, foods,
insect bites, etc. Therefore, parents are asked to complete an emergency care consent
form upon enrolling their child at the Borden County I.S.D. Parents may be asked to
complete a new consent form on an annual basis. Parents should keep emergency care
information up-to-date (name of doctor, emergency phone numbers, allergies, etc.).
