Teachers Protocol for Missing Students during “Codes” Make sure you have a “paper copy” of the current student roster on hand. If a “code” is called and students are missing from your class, place the yellow cardboard over the door window so that it can be seen by those passing by classroom. If all students are present, do not put cards out.
