THREATENING
WEATHER
If at any time weather becomes
threatening, especially with lightning, students (athletics, physical
education, band, drill team, cheerleaders, JROTC) who are outside should be
moved immediately inside until the weather clears. Students should never be
kept outside or allowed to remain outside when severe or turbulent weather
is imminent.
REMEMBER: IF YOU SEE LIGHTNING,
no matter how far off, consider it threatening and move inside at once!
