SAFETY DRILLS
Fire, tornado, and other emergency drills are held regularly to develop safety practices that will help students to move quickly in an orderly manner to designated safety areas during an emergency. Rules of safety are reviewed regularly and posted in each classroom. Students are required to be silent and shall comply with the directives of school officials during emergency drills. Each school shall conduct a minimum of five (5) fire drills, two (2) tornado drills, and three (3) lockdown drills each school year. During a drill or actual emergency, personal safety will depend upon the way in which students carry out regular procedures or modified instructions that the situation may dictate. FIRE DRILL = pulsing horn and flashing lights TORNADO DRILL = intermittent siren-like sound

Why Does Attendance Matter?
Every school day counts in a child's academic life...
A missed school day is a lost opportunity for students to learn. In this era of increased accountability for states, districts, and schools, the connection between student attendance and learning is being studied more than ever before.
The primary rationale for focusing on attendance is the relationship between student attendance and student achievement. Teacher effectiveness is the strongest school-related determinant of student success, but chronic student absence reduces even the best teacher's ability to provide learning opportunities. Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. This relationship between attendance and achievement may appear early in a child's school career. A recent study looking at young children found that absenteeism in kindergarten was associated with negative first grade outcomes such as greater absenteeism in subsequent years and lower achievement in reading, math, and general knowledge.
