Fire and Tornado Drills
Ottawa Elementary School complies with all fire and safety laws and will conduct fire drills in accordance with State law. Specific instructions on how to proceed will be provided to students by their teachers who will oversee the safe, prompt, and orderly evacuation of the building.

Tornado drills will be conducted during the tornado season using the procedures prescribed by the State. The alarm system for tornadoes is different from the alarm system for fires and consists of a siren over the PA system.

No student will be allowed to leave school prior to dismissal time without either (a) a written request signed by the parent or guardian, or (b) the parent or guardian coming to the office or calling the office requesting the release. No student will be released to a person other than a custodial parent or guardian without a permission note signed by the custodial parent or guardian.
