• Parking lot traffic patterns have been updated and implemented in order to reduce the likelihood of traffic-related incidents.

• Campus entry and exit points have been limited when school is starting and ending in order to better control who comes onto campus during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up.

• All entry and exit gates are locked once school is in session, and visitor access is only permitted through the front office; visitors must check in at the beginning of their visit, and check out upon completion of their visit.

• Enhanced security and monitoring has been added to the front office entry point.

• Recommended plans for additional/improved school fencing and gating, which will provide additional layers of security, are being implemented.

Emergency Preparedness

• The emergency procedures for fires, evacuations, and active shooter situations have been updated and implemented. 

• All school staff members have attended a CPR Training class.

• All school staff attended a 6-hour training on Active Shooter response. Training included research- and data-based presentations about how active shooters attack, methodology and weaponry used, shooter tactics and the common weaknesses and flaws noted in each of these attacks. The training also included a physical element in which teachers were taught defense tactics including striking techniques, improvised weapon usage, how to overpower a shooter and how to remove a weapon from a shooter should they enter their room.

• All classrooms have been equipped with safety doors featuring steel construction, tempered glass windows and push bar exit.

• Should lock-down procedures be activated, all classrooms are equipped with lock-down kits.

• All classrooms and campus buildings are connected with telephones and back-up communication tools for immediate dissemination of information in the event of an emergency.

We are committed to continually reviewing our safety protocols and procedures to ensure the safety of all those on our campus.
