School Safety
School safety is a primary concern for us all. We want our schools to be an environment where students are focused on learning and school activities. Below are some of the ways we ensure the safety of our school community.
Staff Training
Each year, all staff undertake a series of mandated trainings through Vector Solutions that cover a wide range of topics specifically relevant to school employees. In addition, staff are trained in CPR and First Aid.
Parent Notifications
Parents are notified via ParentSquare any time a school-wide incident occurs.
School Safety Plans
