Meet the Safety and Security Team and view safety and security resources
The safety of students and staff, and the security of our campus, are the two main concerns of the Security Team. To meet the challenges of maintaining a safe campus, we ask for the assistance of students, staff and parents to be vigilant. If you feel that something needs to be addressed, please bring it to the attention of the Security Team as soon as possible.
