THREAT ASSESSMENT TEAM
Through a School Board of Broward County district initiative, a team from our school has been identified and in-service on the protocol to be followed in assessing any threats. The Threat Assessment Team consists of members of the administration and security staff. Threat assessment is part of the Nova High School overall security plan. Staff members are instructed to immediately report any threat to administration, and an administrator will initiate any further gathering of information and implementation of the district protocol. Nova High School shares the district’s highest commitment to providing a safe environment for all students, employees and visitors.

FIRE DRILL
Please review PRIMARY and SECONDARY EVACUATION routes with your students.

Teachers are to bring their “teacher signs” with them.
Verify that the classroom is clear and that no one is left behind.
Once outside, immediately take attendance.

TORNADO DRILL
When the announcement is made… “TORNADO DRILL, ALL STUDENTS AND STAFF REPORT TO THEIR ASSIGNED AREAS.”
Students should be moved away from the windows and
classrooms without interior corridors. Students will then carry out the safety position, when
they are instructed: “EVERYBODY DOWN! CROUCH ON ELBOWS AND KNEES. HANDS OVER BACK OF HEAD.”
It is essential that this command be instantly
understood and obeyed. Most tornado deaths are caused by head injuries.
If students/classes are in…
English, Math, Science, Tech I, II, III or Gym should be brought into the hallway to assume the position.
Transition, they need to enter the closest building and assume the protective posture.
All classes in the portables and modulars should report immediately to the cafeteria escorted by their teachers. Students are to go to the inner most walls and assume the position.
Students should be silent during the tornado drill. Once the “All Clear” is given, students can resume their
regular activities.
