Visitor Management System
All of our schools use the SafeVisitor system that requires all visitors to have a driver’s license or state ID that is run through a global background screening.
Professionally Trained Security Staff
Our security personnel receive access to cutting-edge and relevant training programs. These sessions are meticulously developed to arm them with knowledge of the latest best practices, policies, and procedures.
Compliance with Annual Safety Drills
GCSC is compliant with all required safety drills to ensure their preparedness to respond in the event of an emergency. These required drills include fire and evacuation, lockdown, and severe weather.
Emergency Response Plans for Every School
Each school has a customized emergency management plan that includes emergency protocols, contact information, communication procedures, and evacuation plans that are specific to their building.
Proactively, we all should be on the lookout for worrisome behaviors such as threats of harm to oneself or others. Please check in regularly with your child on how they’re doing. Since we know social media can be both helpful and harmful, be aware of how and with whom they are engaging on social media. School staff and our Central Office team are on the lookout for concerning, open source social media posts.
Know that concerning social media action can hit a flashpoint very quickly. Contact the school’s administration immediately with as much information as possible and collect screen shots to share. If it is after school hours, please also submit the information as soon as possible to the Security Office through the form. The more immediate you send the information, the more helpful it will be in the investigation. And If you can include any screenshots, that will be very helpful.
