Zion Lutheran School practises fire, tornado and safety drills throughout the year so every student and staff member knows exactly what to do. Each completed drill is documented and posted here.
Drills are listed newest first. Use the filters to show a single drill type. Each entry links to the signed Michigan State Police form (ADM-032) for that drill.

Michigan law (MCL 380.1308) requires every school — public and nonpublic alike — to carry out a set number of drills each school year, to document each one, and to publish that documentation on the school website within 30 days of the drill. The record must stay online for at least three years.
Each school year Zion completes five fire drills (three of them before 1 December), two tornado drills (one of them in March), and three safety or security drills (one before 1 December and one after 1 January). The counters above show our progress against each of those requirements.
Questions about school safety are always welcome — please contact the school office.
