Procedure for Complete Evacuation of the Campus Location


  1. If it is determined by the Executive Administrator in conjunction with the local Emergency Personnel (Fire Dept, Police, etc) that evacuation of the campus is necessary, an evacuation order will be issued via radio communications to all of the school buildings.
  2. An announcement will be made at each campus for “Full Evacuation Plan A” or “Full Evacuation Plan B”.  If  Plan A is designated, the Executive Administrator will notify John Knox Church, if possible, of the impending arrival (Phone 828-1846).
  3.  A “Parent Broadcast” will be issued as soon as possible to all parents dictating the nature of the emergency and the anticipated destination.
  4. In exiting the building, teachers will make sure that:
    • They are the last ones to leave the room
    • Lights are off
    • Door is closed but not locked
    • They have Emergency Handbook with Roll Sheet in hand
  1. Exit expeditiously with the students to the front of the building, out to Inspiration Dr and down to the designated location (see map).
  2. Keep students in control and on sidewalks to leave the streets free for emergency vehicles. Designated church staff will be posted at several points along the way to assist with directions, street crossings and ambulatory problems.
  3. Once a group has reached the destination, teachers will line their class up by grade and class according to the location map. They will then take roll call and give results to the Off Site Director (currently Assistant to the Executive Administrator). If any students are missing and not quickly located, names and descriptions will be given to the Off Site Director. 
  4. Remain at this location until the all clear is given to return to the campus or the Offsite Director has given permission for the students to leave with their parents. Any students leaving the area must be signed out by an adult, NO EXCEPTIONS.  
  5. If Emergency Personnel dictate a different location due to extenuating circumstances, please obey their expertise. The Administrative Staff will be responsible for advising the parents of the new location. 
  6. All media contact will be directed to the Executive Administrator.
