The staff at Juarez puts student safety at the top of our priority list! Campus entry gates are locked during school hours and the only access point is through our main office.
Our school has a Crisis Response Box that includes a comprehensive school safety plan. Required by the state, the plan includes policies and procedures for responding to:
- Disasters such as fire, earthquake, or situations requiring a lockdown.
- Serious disciplinary problems.
- Child abuse.
- Sexual harassment.
Practice drills are periodically held to ensure that students will be safe during a disaster.
Adult supervision is provided in classrooms and in outside areas before and after school, during recess and lunch, and during passing time between classes. Under the direction of the principal or site administrator, staff implement specific school building security procedures. In addition, district offices support schools by reviewing and disseminating safety requirements and information, coordinating safety-related services, and providing training and assistance.
Several staff members at Juarez are ProAct trained to assist in diffusing any crisis involving pupils.
All visitors must report to the main office and secure a pass, which is to be worn while on campus. To pick up a child from school, an individual must be an adult listed on the student's enrollment card and able to prove his/her identity with a picture ID.
