Safety

School Safety and Security

The safety and well-being of our students and staff is our top priority. We are committed to providing a secure, supportive environment where every child can learn and grow.

Our schools follow comprehensive safety procedures designed to prevent and respond effectively to emergencies. These include:

  • Locked doors and secure entry systems during school hours

  • Visitor check-in procedures requiring photo ID

  • Regular safety drills for fire, lockdown, and evacuation situations

  • Collaboration with local law enforcement and emergency responders

  • Supervision and staff training focused on student safety and crisis response

  • Positive behavior and relationship-building programs that promote respect and care within our school community

We also encourage families to talk with children about safety and to share any concerns with school staff. Working together helps keep our schools safe, welcoming, and ready for learning every day.

For questions or more information, please contact Mr. Earl, our SSO at 315-846-5121. 

District Wide Safety Plan

See Something, Say Something

Safety is everyone’s responsibility. Our district is committed to maintaining a safe and caring learning environment for all students and staff.

If you see or hear something that doesn’t seem right—such as threats, bullying, unsafe behavior, or suspicious activity—say something immediately. Reporting concerns helps keep our schools safe.

You can share concerns by:

  • Speaking with a teacher, counselor, or school administrator

  • Calling the school office directly

  • Submitting a confidential report through [insert reporting link or phone number if available]

Every report is taken seriously and handled with care. By working together and speaking up, we can help prevent harm and ensure our schools remain safe, supportive places for everyone.

If it’s an emergency, always call 911.

Sandy Hook Promise -

Say Something Anonymous Reporting System

While the District takes every warning sign and threat seriously, the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System trains and educates students, faculty, and staff how to:

  • Recognize warning signs and threats (verbal, non-verbal, or on social media) of individuals who may be at-risk 
  • Act immediately to get help by talking to a trusted adult OR 
  • Report through the SS-ARS 24/7/365 telephone hotline, mobile app, or website

The Say Something Anonymous Reporting System program is provided at no cost by Sandy Hook Promise (SHP), a national nonprofit organization. More than 31 million people have participated in their research-based “Know the Signs” programs that includes Say Something.

This program is age-appropriate and evidence-informed. To date, the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System and other SHP prevention programs have stopped multiple school incidents (i.e. shootings), suicides, and gun threats.  SS-ARS and SHP have also helped reduced bullying and cyberbullying, and provided intervention for self-harm, drug use, and more.
