School Safety
We are continuing to be vigilant in keeping our students safe from off campus threats. As part of our normal procedures we keep all but the main doors of our building locked during the day, we maintain close supervision of our students when they are outside, and we require all visitors to sign in and get a visitors badge.
Additionally, our staff-members are being extra alert in watching for outsiders, we have a staff-member walking with our students after school from the Vanguard campus to the CMCA campus, and we have met with a deputy from the El Paso County Sheriff's Department to get additional ideas on ways to keep our campus safe. The primary way we've been advised to improve security is by adding fencing along certain sections of the perimeter of our campus to prevent easy passage across our land. We are in the process of getting bids for fencing and are working to get help paying for it.
We are asking all students walking between the campuses to walk along Corona and St. Elmo and not use a different route or cut through private property.
If you have a child who walks to school or between our campuses, please remind him to:
- Walk with friends
- Stay on the sidewalk
- Avoid strangers
