I think we always thought the drills were for earthquakes. I remember having to bring a quarter or fifty cents for a dog tag which I thought was pretty cool, not knowing that it was to identify my body after the attack. What I really remember was the "tour" of the school grounds we got which was really to show us where the underground shelter was under the school. (Robert Lous Stevenson Elementary in San Francisco around 35th and Quintara.) As a first or second grader I thought they were huge caverns several stories underground. Probably only one flight of stairs. By third grade ( about '63) I don't think they did the tour anymore.
