Excerpt From PWCS Code of Behavior

Students, staff, and parents share the responsibility for an orderly and safe school environment. Information about drugs, weapons, or other factors which may be harmful to the school environment should be reported. Students who have knowledge of drugs, weapons, violence, or other behaviors which may be harmful to others or to the school environment may be subject to disciplinary action for failure to report such information to school authorities.

The following are some suggestions for reporting such information:

• Contact the school principal or other administrator
• Dial the PWCS Tip Line at 1-844-5-SAYNOW or www.SaySomething.net
• Call 911 to contact the police in cases of emergency

If a student discovers something in his or her possession which is not permitted at school, that student should report to an administrator or other staff member immediately. Follow-up action shall take into consideration that the student voluntarily brought this to the attention of staff. Students should contact an administrator, teacher, or counselor immediately if they believe they have been victims of discrimination, harassment, or other acts which violate the Code of Behavior.  

Evolv Safety Screening 

Starting this school year Hylton High School as well all other PWCS High Schools will have students entering the school and pass through the Evolv Security Screening System. This mechanism will detect weapons and ignore harmless items. It is touchless and allows students and staff to walk-through without divesting bags and pocket contents. Evolv uses artificial intelligence and sensors to instantly distinguish between weapons and everyday items allowing students, teachers and staff to move through security at the pace of life without having to be stopped and searched each time. The system consists of two towers that students and staff pass through upon entry into the school. If the towers turn green, no threat has been detected and the individual passes through without stopping. A designated staff member will be holding an Evolv mobile tablet that processes the screening to instantly identify if a potential threat has been detected. If the system identifies a potential threat, the tower will alert with a red light and sound, and a red box will appear on the tablet indicating precisely where a potential threat is on a person. That individual can then undergo secondary screening and additional assistance can be called upon if needed.

• Door 1 – Main Office/Lobby Area
