Student/Parent Handbook - Braintree Public Schools

Fire Drill/Evacuation Plan
• Fire/Evacuation procedures are posted in all classrooms and student/staff
areas in the school.
• Each classroom is assigned to an exit and to a zone outside of the building.
• Teachers will familiarize students with the exit procedures for each classroom
and inform students as to what zone their classroom is assigned.
• Students will exit the building in an orderly manner remaining with their teacher
and classmates.
• After exiting the building, classes will continue to remain together in their
assigned zone while teachers take attendance.
• If a student is not in a classroom at the time the fire alarm signals, he/she
should leave the building through the closest exit. Once outside, he/she should
find the nearest zone and report to a teacher. The student should make certain
that his/her name is given to the teacher who will record it on the attendance
sheet.
• All classroom teachers will be taking attendance immediately using the pink
attendance sheet, and will note any additional students who may have “joined”
their classes.
• Students must stay with his/her class while waiting for further directions or until
an “all clear” is communicated.
• Students will return to same classroom/area that they were in at the time of
original alarm. The teacher will take attendance and all will wait for further
instructions via the PA.
Teachers should review emergency procedures outlined in their “Crisis Management
Handbook” to assure a safe classroom atmosphere in the event an emergency occurs.
No students or staff are to return to the building until the “All-Clear” Bell is Rung
Food and Drinks
Food and beverages can only be consumed in the cafeteria. There is to be no eating of
food or drinking of any beverage (except water) in classrooms, corridors or the locker
areas. Students who violate this restriction will be asked to dispose of the food or
beverage immediately. Failure to do so or a repeat violation will result in the assignment
of an office detention. All staff will strictly enforce this policy.
Fundraising by Students
Students at Braintree High School are allowed to participate in fundraising activities on a
limited basis. Such activities must have the approval of the Superintendent of Schools,
the Headmaster, and the parents of students who would be involved.
Identification Card Policy
Safety is the number one concern of Braintree High School. Part of the safety
plan for the high school includes an identification card policy. All students will
be issued identification cards at the start of the school year and will be required
to carry the identification cards while in school and produce them when
requested to do so by a staff member.
Students will be required to show their cards upon entering any school
sponsored dance and/or activity. Students will be requested to show
identification cards if requested by their school bus driver. Failure to show an
identification card will result in the student being excluded from the event or
removed from the school bus.
Lost and Found
Articles of clothing and books will be deposited in the Lost and Found located in House
1. Keys, money, wallets, pocketbooks, and other valuables will be turned into the
