Measures designed to protect our school community include:

• Surveillance video monitors strategically located throughout school facilities and grounds

• Clearly defined perimeter security near water access
• On-site security guard
• Crossing guards both morning and afternoon
• Screening of visitors via check in and visitors' badges
• Comprehensive background checks on all faculty, staff and subcontractors
• Comprehensive crisis management and emergency preparedness plan
• Emergency preparedness training of all faculty and staff
