The following steps will be taken to ensure that your child is safe while at our school:
Safe Adult Supervision
All children will be supervised by a qualified adult who has completed a comprehensive background check. Our staff is CPR certified for educators by the American Red Cross. We have an AED onsite, and our staff is trained in its usage.
Facility Safety
The administrator is responsible for maintaining all interior and exterior surfaces, including walls, floors, ceilings, equipment, toys, and furnishings, in safe condition, free of sharp points or jagged edges, splinters, protruding nails or wires, loose parts, rusty parts, or materials containing poisonous substances. Our facility is cleaned weekly and kept in a sanitary condition. Tables, workstations, and classroom surfaces are sanitized daily.
Fire Safety
Our fire panel and alarms are tied directly to Greencastle Fire Department. If we have a fire in the building, the fire department will be notified when the alarm sounds. We conduct required fire panel and fire alarm testing. Our students and staff participate in monthly fire drills per the local fire marshal.
Weather Safety
Tornado drills are conducted twice a year.
Security
Our doors are always locked from the outside. We have a staff member at our entrance, and persons are only allowed in the building if they are deemed safe by our office staff. Our security camera system shows the entrances and hallways of our facility. Active intruder drills are done by our staff twice a year.
