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.  

 As part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring a safe and secure learning environment for all students, we have implemented safety screening technology. This advanced technology will enhance our existing security protocols and help us quickly identify potential threats, ensuring the safety of our students and staff.

• The building will open to students at 7:00 am, 30 minutes prior to the start of the school day.
• We will have [two] entries into the building while all other doors will be locked. 

Entry into the building will be at the following locations:

• Door 4 – Parent Drop Off/Student Drivers
• Door 1 – Bus Riders

Once the school day begins, all visitors and students arriving after the bell will enter through Door 1 and will go through the screening.

To prepare ahead of the use of the technology in your school, families are encouraged to help reduce the possibility of “false alerts” on everyday items. While none are prohibited, using these guidelines will ensure a quick entry for everyone:

1. Select clear and plastic school supplies over covered/concealed and metallic when applicable.
2. Use three-ring binders with plastic spines/rings (non-metal).
3. Utilize plastic (versus metallic) BPA-free water/coffee bottles.
4. Use hard plastic eyeglass cases (versus metal).
5. Students should “pack-light” and limit the number of items in bags or other equipment.
6. Keep superfluous metallic items home (game consoles, beauty products, USB drives).
7. Laptops and umbrellas will be passed around the technology via a staffed table.
8. Note: Exact school supply lists are communicated individually by schools/teachers.

If you are dropping your student off to school, please be mindful that your student will need additional time to go through the device.
