Crisis Intervention
Recognizing the need to be prepared for all emergencies, the Academy schedules regular fire and tornado drills.  Our staff is regularly trained in handling emergency situations.  Emergency exit routes and procedures are posted in each room within the school.

A crisis intervention plan was developed by the Academy staff to create the safest possible environment for our children.  The crisis intervention plan establishes a course of action in emergency/crisis situations.  Each teacher has a copy of the plan, and a copy of the plan is in the office.

Academy Closings
In cases of inclement weather, local radio and TV stations will be notified about a decision to close school or delay opening.  Listen to a local radio or television broadcast for school closings.  DO NOT call the school.  Local radio stations WKFR (103.3), WKZO (AM590), WVFM (106.5), WBCK (AM 930), and WFAT (96.5).  TV stations WWMT (CBS) and WOTV (ABC).  School closings can also be found online at www.wwmt.com, or www.woodtv.com.

If a weather emergency should arise during school hours, the following procedures will be followed:

Tornado/Thunderstorm Watch – (Issued when the possibility of a tornado exists) Students will remain inside the building, local weather broadcasts will be monitored, and our staff will take safety precautions.  Students will be released to parents/guardians or other designated adults upon request.

Tornado/Thunderstorm Warning – (Issued when a tornado has been spotted or indicated on the radar) All students and staff members will remain in the building and take shelter in designated areas.  Students may be detained beyond the usual dismissal time.


Safety and Security
