Emergency Plan

Emergency Alarm and Warning System


Our Mass Notification System by Simplex-Grinnell was first implemented in April of 2010.

The system is activated by our University Police during emergency events to notify the campus community inside buildings and outside through speakers on strategically located buildings. 

Tornado Information


Drills are conducted monthly at various times of occupancy and plans are reviewed yearly.

During a Tornado Warning, occupants go to the lowest level of the building and sit away from windows and doors.

Fire Exit(s)


Our emergency exits are positioned to direct people to the outside of the building on the south and west sides.

Our main entrance exits into a hallway that leads to the west outside entrance/exit.

During a fire emergency, leave the building by the closest outside exit and move away from the affected building to a gathering point.

Fire drills are conducted monthly and plans are reviewed yearly.

Injuries Accident Reports


Injuries, medical attention or emergencies must be reported to our University Police at 626-2222 or ext.2222.

A report is completed for non-emergency incidents and placed in your child’s folder for your convenience.

In the case of an emergency, you will be notified immediately after Emergency Services is called.

It is imperative that you provide immediate emergency contact information for your child’s file.

Snow Or Other Inclimate Cancellations


The Academy will be open any time our university campus and/or offices are open.

Notification of Cancellation is facilitated via all local television and other media outlets, as well as:
