Faulk Elementary

08/20/2026

Today on August 20, 2026, Faulk conducted their first fire drill of the year . The students did amazing! From our most little panthers to our most seasoned ones. Thank you to our wonderful teachers, staff, and students for being diligent while we practice our safety procedures.

During the EVACUATE drill, students and staff exit the building to a location. An EVACUATE drill is very similar to a fire drill.
Drills are for staff and students, and are educational opportunities to practice life safety skills. We encourage you to talk with your child about today’s EVACUATE drill.

What is the EVACUATE Action?

The EVACUATE Action is called when there is a need to move people from one location to another for safety reasons. EVACUATE may be on-site, or offsite, and may be resolved quickly, result in early-dismissal, or require organized reunification of students and parents/guardians at another location. During EVACUATE, all students and staff move in an orderly fashion to a safe area.

Examples of EVACUATE Conditions

The following are some examples of when a school or emergency dispatch might call for an EVACUATE Action.
Power outage
Fire
Gas leak
Bomb threat

Event at the school that results in the school being deemed a crime scene

Please keep in mind that dismissal may move a little more slowly during the first few
days of school as students and staff learn and practice our routines. We promise—it will
get faster! Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. Our number one
priority during dismissal is making sure every child gets home safely. We appreciate your
help in following these procedures.
To ensure the safest and most efficient dismissal process for our students, NO PARENT
WALKUP THIS YEAR. Parents will remain in their cars and staff will assist your child to
your car. This will ensure we reduce traffic and congestion and are not walking between
cars as we dismiss. Again, this to ensure all students are safely in their cars and reduce
traffic.
