Whenever there is a ‘tornado watch’ or ‘tornado warning’ in effect and there is a possibility that students will be travelling during the storm, hold the departure of those students until after the storm has passed. Buses “do not provide protection” from severe storms.

Role of Teachers, Coaches, Intramural Supervisors

• Prior to outside physical activities, check the weather forecast for severe thunderstorm watches or warnings. When outside, watch for identifying features.
• Communicate to students appropriate actions for severe weather conditions (severe thunderstorms and tornado watches/warnings).
• Actions that must be taken:
  • Tornado Safety At School
  • Tornado Safety When Outdoors
  • Tornado Safety When in a Vehicle
