Students: Special Information Fire, Tornado, and Other Emergencies
- Culler has contingency plans in place in case of emergencies that may occur during the school day. Classroom teachers will explain the procedures to students during the first few days of school. If students fail to follow teachers’ directions during an emergency or emergency drill, it can place students and staff in danger. These types of behaviors will result in disciplinary action for students. Culler staff and students practice emergency drills throughout the year.
- Fire emergencies are signaled with a continuous klaxon horn with fire routes posted near the door in every classroom.
- Weather emergencies are signaled with five short bells. Students are sent to protected areas where they will remain until Culler receives the all clear from LPS staff even if the emergency extends past the end of the school day.
- Culler staff, through coordinated efforts with LPS staff and other emergency services, prepares for additional situations.
Ethical Users of Information
- Students will be ethical users of information while working on schoolwork at home or at school. Ethical users of information use their own words, read, and take notes from more than one source and develop bibliographies to give credit to original authors. Ethical use applies to print and online resources. If students violate any of the following statements, they will be subject to disciplinary action, which can include the immediate suspension of their computer privileges.
