All four of our sites have alarms. This will be the first year that teachers and staff will be assigned alarm codes if they request one. Each school will need to develop procedures to ensure that false alarms are kept to a minimum. Please make sure you have been trained in using the alarm and the school procedures. School sites will be charged for false alarms after training. To request an alarm code please notify your principal.

Classroom Pets

In accordance with Board policy, a teacher or student may bring an animal into the classroom for instructional purposes with prior approval of the principal or designee.

The Safety Inspection Report must be submitted to the Director of FMOT by the Friday of the first full week of the month. If other staff members see safety issues or things that need to be repaired please inform the day custodian. The day custodian will determine if he/she can fix the issue or if a work order needs to be completed. Work orders are completed by the day custodian, signed by principals and submitted to the Director of FMOT.
