School Safety

The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community are our highest priority. We believe that working together can create a safer school environment where our students can focus on learning and thriving.

We want to remind everyone of the importance of our "Say Something" campaign. If you notice anything that seems suspicious or concerning, we urge you to speak to a trusted adult or make a report by texting @SayIt to 833-769-0372. Your actions, no matter how small they may seem, can play a crucial role in keeping our schools safe.

Our district has comprehensive safety protocols in place to ensure that our schools remain a secure space for all. One of these important measures is the adoption of the I Love U Guys Standard Response Protocol (SRP). The SRP provides clear, consistent language that helps guide our actions during emergency situations.

The five specific SRP statuses used during incidents are:

• Hold: Students remain in classrooms while a situation, like a medical or behavioral issue, is managed in another part of the building.
• Secure: The building is secured, and students continue their activities inside while outside threats are addressed.
• Lockdown: All classroom and building doors are locked while any threats within the building are addressed.
• Evacuate: Students and staff leave the building due to an emergency inside.
• Shelter: Students and staff seek shelter from severe weather or other hazardous situations.

We understand that it’s important for families to stay informed during any emergency situation at school. Our goal is to provide information in a timely and accurate manner while ensuring we do not create unnecessary alarm. For major emergencies that involve emergency personnel, we will send updates to all families. In less severe situations, such as a Hold, we typically communicate only with the families directly involved to respect privacy.

If an incident directly impacts your child, rest assured that we will always contact you. For any other emergency situations like Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, or Shelter, all families in the impacted school will receive updates as soon as possible, with continual information provided as needed.

We are committed to providing a safe learning environment for your children, and we thank you for placing your trust in us. Please know that we take this responsibility very seriously, and we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of safety in our schools.
