Shelter in Place Shelter in Place is a response to an environmental risk outside of the building such as a severe weather warning (e.g., tornado) or the presence of a chemical, biological or radiological contaminant that has been accidentally or intentionally released into the environment. Students, faculty, staff and visitors are considered to be safe inside the school buildings and school activities may continue as usual inside the building only. The signal to go into shelter in place is three bells followed by an announcement from Security indicating the action required. School Access The school’s doors are locked at all times, unless there is a special event occurring, or unless security personnel have been assigned to supervise and manage school access at a designated unlocked door. Security personnel can view all direct access doors to the Junior and Upper Schools via CCTV and can allow guests entry into the buildings by electronically unlocking doors when warranted. General visitors must enter through the main entrance doors. All visitors will be issued a Visitor Pass, which they must wear and display while on campus and return to the front desk. Security will not allow individuals into the school under authorization from previous visits. Students must have authorization from a senior level administrator in order to bring a guest inside the school. This applies to all students and is applicable at all times. Junior School Access The Junior School designated main entrance is unlocked from 7:30-8:30 am and from 3:15-4 pm on school days to facilitate morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. During these time periods, Security personnel are on duty at the front doors. Junior School students enter the school through the designated main entrance.

● On weekends and after hours, there is no access. ● There is a full-time security guard on duty in the Junior School from 7:30 am to 6 pm.
