AFETY AND SECURITY

Security Officers are responsible for the overall building security such as: doors,
stairwells, corridors, and lavatories.  Security Officers are not part of the Ladder
of Referral.  Do NOT use them for discipline.  They may assist in breaking up a
fight or restraining a student who presents a danger to the safety of the class.  
Call the OFFICE, Dean, or nearest Assistant Principal if assistance is needed.

STUDENT ACCIDENTS

In the case of a slight accident, have the pupil escorted by another student to
the nurse's room.
In the case of a serious accident, call the nurse and send for one of the
supervisory staff at once.
The teacher in charge of the activity in which the accident occurred is
responsible for accurate completing of the accident forms.
The following procedure is to be followed in completing these forms:
Accident forms are to be obtained from the General office.
A signed statement must be obtained from the INJURED.
A signed statement must be obtained from two or more WITNESSES.
A signed statement must be obtained from the TEACHER IN CHARGE of the
activity.
A signed accident report, accurately filled out must accompany the statements.  
The teacher statement must contain (see sample):
•        Cause and nature of injury
•        Statement of first aid administered to injured.
•        Statement of contributory negligence by the injured
•        Physical defects, if any, at the scene of the accident
•        Time and place of the accident
•        All reports and statements must be sent to the General office.
All reports must be filed within 24 hours of the accident.                                
HALL AND STAIRCASE SAFETY

Every teacher should assume an active post in the CENTER of the hall outside his
or her classroom during the change of periods.  Plan your instruction so that you
can be out in the hallway at the end of one and the beginning of the next period.  
If your classroom is near a staircase, please make a habit of monitoring the
students and traffic on the stairs.  The administrative staff will also monitor the
hallways during the change of periods.  We must all encourage students to
"WALK TO THE RIGHT."  Together we can establish and maintain a positive and
safe environment.
