Security Reminders

 We  practice our safety procedures using formal drills. Far more important than the drills are the following measures we have in place every single day:

*Cameras inside and outside the building to monitor at all times

*Locked doors with key/badge entry only

*Secured vestibule at the main entrance

*Raptor security system to scan the background information of anyone who enters

*All staff and visitors are required to wear identification

*Emergency communication plans and systems in place with local law enforcement

*Exit plans posted in all spaces

*Emergency call buttons in all spaces

We also hold an annual meeting with all local law enforcement to review all procedures.

Future plans also include updating our entryways to make them even more secure. 

We are always open to suggestions and happy to partner with families to make school safe for our students. They are always our number 1 priority.

Security Updates

I got a few GREAT questions from families last week related to safety and security at our sites and thought I'd share information on safety with everyone. 

 We  practice our safety procedures using formal drills. Far more important than the drills are the following measures we have in place every single day:

*Cameras inside and outside the building to monitor at all times

*Locked doors with key/badge entry only

*Secured vestibule at the main entrance

*Raptor security system to scan the background information of anyone who enters
