Protect from gossip, encourage group interactions vs one-on-one, communicate with parents and refrain from inappropriate encouragement of relationships. Shut down PDA if necessary.

These are the steps the teacher should take during a fire drill.
Tell students to leave belonging and quickly and quietly. Grab clipboard with rosters and evacuation route located by exit door. Lead students to designated rendezvous location (refer to diagram on clipboard). Leave door open, turn off lights, scan room for students left behind. At rendezvous point, call roll. Hold up "green" sign indicating you have everyone. Hold up "red" if a student is missing." Ensure students are facing away from the building. Remain quiet and lined up until the "all clear" from designated administrator. Once you hear the "all clear" it is safe to return to your building/classroom.
This is how many years Jack and Patty prayed for the direction for HCS.
