1. All pupils will stand by their desks without talking. The monitors will perform
their assigned tasks (students are not to attempt to put books, etc. away).
2. Upon direction from the teacher students walk rapidly (no running, shoving,
talking) to the designed exits.
3. The pupils will proceed silently to the front of the school area, far enough away for safety and so everyone has a chance to exit.
4. Teachers will take the roll call and students will answer quickly and clearly.
5. At a given signal from the principal/teacher the students return to their
classrooms.
