We are a locked campus meaning that once school starts no one can enter the building without a key. We have quarterly fire/active shooter drills so our students and staff are prepared. We are located in the basement of the church with no windows and an emergency exit that remains locked at all times. All of our teachers and substitutes have active background checks as well. Any parent wanting to volunteer on a regular basis will also need a background check.
