Safety is a priority at Westridge, and knowing our safety procedures ensures the well-being of all students. In the event of a fire drill, stop all activities, line up silently, and follow your teacher to the nearest exit. For tornado drills, follow the teacher's directions to a safe location away from windows and sit quietly. During lockdowns, doors are locked and class continues; if out of class, find the nearest room. A Code Red involves locking doors and huddling silently. Stay alert for adult instructions at all times.
