is the behavioural teaching assistant. Her extension is 425 – just pick up the phone and dial
(you don’t have to press intercom or anything special before dialing). It can be hard to reach
her during class as she is often in classrooms, but you can call 400 to call the office and ask
them to page her. Or, simply call 400 say “I need support in room 104.”

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
IN CASE OF FIRE

When a fire alarm is sounded, the responsibility of staff is to get the students

safely out of the building.

Your primary exit is door 14.

(turn right out of music room then left)

Your secondary exit is door 15.

(turn left and go out the door across from library)

In order to facilitate a safe evacuation, please note:

- Take red folder that is hanging on the bulletin board above computer
- If time permits, turn off all electrical equipment, lights and close doors and
windows.
- Students should proceed, in an orderly fashion, out of the building and
reassemble at least 30 metres from the building for attendance verification. Go
across the pavement towards the grass/fence and have students remain in a
line.
- Take attendance and if everyone is present, hold up the green sign (in folder)
that says “GO.” If someone is missing, hold up red STOP sign and inform
administration immediately.
 - Please inform the administration (when they come around) how many of your
students are with a different teacher.
- When the bell sounds twice, you may escort your class back into the building.
