Campus Evacuation Drill: 3/21/2019

Pulaski County High School

Campus Evacuation Drill

March 21, 2019

Pulaski County High School will conduct a school-wide evacuation drill on Thursday, March 20th. This drill is expected to begin soon after the start of the school day. During the drill all faculty, staff, and students will practice Shelter-In-Place protocol until specifically asked to leave their instructional space. Everyone on campus, unless otherwise specified, will leave campus via school transportation to a evacuation site and then return to PCHS. Instruction is expected to continue in first block prior to classes leaving campus and begin again upon returning to your classroom.

Students that are checking in will remain in the front office until the conclusion of the drill. Parent or guardians must come into the front office to check their student out. Please remember during this time to expect delays. 

Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we work to ensure the safety of our students and community.
