Glendale
is a Safe School Zone!
The
District 86 Board of Education
recently passed two policies concerning both visitors to school and community
relations (policies 8.30 and 8.50). While it is our intent to keep
the best possible relationship with our community, one of our main goals
at Glendale is to keep the learning environment a safe one. The policies
mentioned dictate the procedure for individuals visiting the school.
Visitors are welcome at Glendale provided
that their presence will not
be disruptive.
All visitors
must
report immediately to the school's main office to sign in. Visitors
cleared by the office will be given a visitor's
badge so that any district employee can easily identify the
visitor.
Any person wishing to confer with a staff
member must make an appointment
by
telephone or send a note with his/her child to have that staff member make
a contact.
Individuals
do
not have direct access to a classroom, cafeteria, gymnasium,
playground, or other school area.
Conferences with teachers are to be
prescheduled
events, which are held outside school hours or during the teacher's conference
/preparation period.
Any staff member may request identification
from an unidentified individual. Individuals who choose not to identify
themselves, do not have the proper visitor's pass, or refuse to comply
with board policy will be removed from the school
grounds.
There is
no
smoking on any school grounds. This includes inside
the building, in the parking lot, or on the playground.
No
person on school property shall consume, posses, or distribute,
or be under the influence of alcoholic beverages
or illegal drugs.
No one
shall
posses dangerous devises or weapons
on
school property.
Individuals
will
not be allowed to
injure, threaten,
harass, or intimidate
a staff member. This includes the
use of foul and inappropriate language.
Complete copies of these policies
are posted in the school foyer or can be obtained through the school office.
We thank you for
helping make Glendale School a safe school zone!
