⚠️ SAFETY FIRST: STAYING VIGILANT AND PREPARED AS A COMMUNITY

​As we return to our regular class schedules at Leon A. Garcia Sr. Elementary School, our top priority remains the safety and well-being of every Leonians.

While our school has been fully inspected and cleared, emergency preparedness is a continuous duty that we all share.​Accidents and natural emergencies can happen at any time. Being vigilant and knowing what to do "at all costs" can make a massive difference in keeping ourselves and others safe.

​Here are essential Safety & Vigilance Tips for our learners, parents, and faculty:

​🚨 For Our Learners (Pupils)

​Know Your Exit Routes: Pay close attention during school drills. Take note of the nearest emergency exits and designated evacuation areas in the school.​Listen to Your Teachers in the event of an alarm or sudden emergency, stay calm, stop what you are doing, and follow your teacher’s instructions immediately without PANIC.

​Report Hazards Immediately: If you see something unsafe—like cracked walls, blocked hallways, exposed wires, or slippery floors—tell a teacher or school staff right away!

​🏫 For Our Faculty & Staff
​Keep Pathways Clear!

Ensure that classroom doors, corridors, and emergency exits are completely free of obstructions at all times.​Review Emergency Kits, Double-check that your classroom emergency kits, flashlights, and first-aid supplies are easily accessible and fully stocked.

​Accountability Check

Always maintain an updated copy of your class roster to quickly account for all students during an evacuation.

​👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 For Our Parents
​Establish a Family Plan: Discuss a clear meeting point with your children outside of the school grounds in case an emergency happens during dismissal hours.

​Keep Contact Info Updated: Ensure the school administration has your most recent mobile numbers and emergency contact details so we can reach you instantly if needed.

​Reinforce Safety at Home:

Teach your children the basics of "Duck, Cover, and Hold" for earthquakes, and fire safety protocols.

​🔊🔊 Remember: Safety is NOT just the school's job it is a SHARED responsibility. Let’s look out for one another, stay alert, and cultivate a culture of vigilance every single day.
​Stay safe, stay prepared, and let's have a secure week ahead, Leonians! 🏫💙
