As a teacher, we have drills several times throughout the school year so that if an emergency situation occurs, teachers and students will hopefully know what to do. It’s not strange to “shelter in place” because a plan is already in place, and that plan has been practiced several times during the school year.
Our families need to have drills as well so that if an emergency situation occurs, we will know what to do because we have a plan in place that we have practiced at least once or twice. If you’re not sure what the best thing to do if a tornado is headed your way, here are some helpful sites:.
