Heavy
Rains/Hail
|
If
heavy rains or hail are occurring at dismissal time, students may be held in
the building until the intensity of the storm subsides. This is a judgment
decision, which is made by each building principal.
|
|
Tornadoes
|
Severe weather is a
common occurrence in Oklahoma, especially in the spring. Each of our schools
has a tornado procedure, and the faculty and students have storm drills
periodically. If severe weather is rapidly approaching at the time of
dismissal, students will be held at the school until the danger has
subsided. If there is a tornado watch but no immediate
danger, school will be dismissed on schedule.
|
|
Snow &
Ice
|
Early
dismissal is not common in Sapulpa Public Schools because of our many working
parents. Every effort is made to keep a normal afternoon schedule and any
change would occur because of unusual circumstances. If early dismissal is
warranted, we usually start the bus schedule one hour early. Because snow and
ice conditions make travel slow, early dismissal does not necessarily mean
students will arrive home early. Working parents should make arrangements to
ensure their children know where to go for supervision should it be necessary
to dismiss early to avoid hazardous street conditions.

Fire Evacuation Procedures
|
Our faculty and students have fire
drills periodically so students are aware of exit points. If an actual fire occurs, students will be
checked out after the Fire Marshal gives the “okay”.
|
|
Intruder on
Campus
|
In this day and age, schools have to be
prepared for many different emergency situations. Just like fire and tornado drills, we also
have Intruder on Campus drills.
Teachers spend time discussing with students different scenarios and
the response that students should have.
