Recess & Dismissal
What dangerous situation happens if everybody runs out the cafeteria doors when the bell rings?
Students bump into each other, trip, fall, spill trays or trash, and create a bottleneck at the door where people can get hurt.
Throwing a single grape or tater tot seems tiny, but what cumulative effect does it have on the school facility?
It makes the cafeteria smell bad and forces custodians to spend hours cleaning up sticky messes.
What three things should you do before walking out to the playground?
Wait until your table is dismissed, clean up your area, and walk calmly in a single line while keeping your hands to yourself.
Why is loud shouting in the cafeteria considered a safety hazard, not just a noise issue?
Supervisors’ safety instructions and emergency directions get lost in the noise.
Name two reasons why staying calm during recess dismissal keeps the cafeteria safe.
It prevents people from tripping or getting hurt and keeps trays or trash from spilling on the floor.
