Make sure your Safety Plan includes all special needs students
“Whatever Emergency Plan you choose, make sure it includes provisions for your special needs students and an accurate attendance accounting so you know if any missing students are really absent and not still in the building. Have people in your building assigned to certain accountability jobs to make sure that the building is cleared and
the proper authorities are notified.”

Provide Students with Tools to Keep Them Safe in Any Situation
“It is so important to share how vital it is that we teach students to be intrinsically driven in all aspects of their lives.
We want them to be safe and secure, and the school can only protect them during school hours. Our goal is to provide children with the tools to make decisions practically and safely; and to keep them safe in any situation and at all times.”
