Slide 1 of 6
STEP 1: THE ALARM
Preparation & Calmness
The Alarm is Loud!
The fire alarm makes a bright, screaming noise to make sure everyone hears it. It is loud, but it is friendly—it is just saying: "Time to go outside!"
Hero Power-Move: Calm Ears
If the sound is too loud, cover your ears calmly with both hands. No screaming or running—just a quiet, powerful hold!
BEEP!
Loud Signal

Hands Over Ears
💡 "The louder the bell, the calmer I stand."
Remember: Do not cover your eyes! Keep them wide open to see the path. Slide 2 of 6
STEP 2: THE LINE
Quick & Silent Setup
1. Stop Work
Freeze immediately! No matter what you are drawing, reading, or writing, stop.
2. Leave Toys
Leave books, markers, pencils, and toys behind. They will wait for you right here!
3. Assemble Quietly
Walk safely directly to our line door. No pushing, no racing, and absolute silence.
Silent and Swift Lining Up
The faster we form a calm, silent line, the sooner we can walk to safety. A quiet room ensures everyone can hear the teacher's vital instructions.
🌟 HERO MISSION
"I leave my desk empty, my hands at my side, my mouth zipped tight, ready for our safe ride."
Safety check: Backpacks stay on the chairs. We do not stop to grab them! Slide 3 of 6
STEP 3: THE WALK
Hallway Behavior
The Hallway Silent March
We move like secret agents or silent explorers. The hallway might have other classes moving too, so staying organized is our top superpower!
1
Keep Eyes Ahead: Look at the person in front of you so you don't trip.
2
Hands to Yourself: No touching walls, doors, lockers, or classmates.
3
Stick Together: Do not leave gaps, but do not crowd each other.

Zero Talking
"Quiet feet, hands in place, steady pacing in our space."
What if you're not in the room? Walk directly to the closest line and join them! Slide 4 of 6
STEP 4: THE SAFE ZONE
Outside Protocols
1. Stay with the Teacher
Stick with our designated class spot. Do not wander or visit friends.
2. Wait Patiently
Keep standing quietly in our spot. This shows we are safe and accounted for.
3. Listen for Attendance
Listen carefully for your name. Say "Here!" loud and clear so I hear you.
Our Outdoor Safe Spot
Once we walk outside, we gather at our assigned class zone on the playground or field. Our main mission here is listening.
Roll Call Check
Teacher: "Alex?" ➔ Alex: "Here!"
Teacher: "Brianna?" ➔ Brianna: "Here!"
Keep your voice quiet so the teacher can hear every single name!
When the bell rings twice, that is our cue that it's safe to head back inside. Slide 5 of 6
