The guide follows an existing safety handbook already published for the general public.
It is being developed alongside the interior, administration and defence ministries, the Government Centre for Security and the national research computing network NASK.
Separately, at the start of the current school year, the ministry sent recommendations to regional education supervisors, asking them to distribute the guidance to all schools.
The materials were designed to help teachers talk to pupils about crisis situations, including airspace violations and the appearance of unidentified drones, and to reduce anxiety among children.
Schools in Poland are already required by law to hold evacuation drills at least once a year, with emergency services notified in advance.
All school staff must also undergo health and safety training, including basic first aid, both before starting work and periodically thereafter.
The ministry also pointed to an existing publication – Safe School – which covers physical and digital threats such as intruder attacks, suspected explosive devices and cyber dangers, and includes recommended action plans for teachers and headteachers.
Meanwhile, the fifth edition of the Education with the Military programme launched at the end of April.
More than 2,800 schools have signed up, with around 155,000 pupils set to take part in crisis preparedness classes led by military personnel.
