Comprehensive Safety & Security Plan

Emergency Responders Posing with American Flags

Our utmost responsibility is to uphold the safety and well-being of our students. This includes a strong partnership with The Winnetka Police and Fire Departments who regularly review our safety procedures and host drills. Police and Fire officials are familiar faces in our buildings and take time to get to know our students, staff, and facilities. Our staff strive to connect with every child individually and are attuned to the social and emotional well-being of students. This allows us to address needs as they arise and strengthen the sense of belonging students feel when they come to school.

The District's commitment to continuously improve safety and security practices is a critical priority that involves all members of our school community. Recent efforts have included:

  • Hiring of a Director of Safety & Security
  • Upgrading safety and security features on all building campuses
  • Training staff on emergency procedures, medical conditions, concussion awareness, utilizing STOP the bleed kits, and threat assessment procedures
  • Implementation of the “I Love U Guys” Standard Response Protocol
  • Establishing a Threat Assessment Team and Comprehensive Procedure

We appreciate your partnership in fostering a sense of safety and belonging in our schools--and greater community. Please click here for our Safety Bulletin (Edition 4, October 2024).
