As we work to maintain a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment across our schools, I want to emphasize the vital role our School Resource Officers (SROs) play in our community.

Our SRO’s are here not only to enhance campus safety and emergency preparedness, but also to build positive relationships with students, offer guidance, and serve as an accessible resource for staff and families alike.

Strong collaboration between our educators and SROs helps ensure proactive safety measures and a strong sense of security for everyone. Please feel free to reach out to our SRO team if you ever have questions, need assistance, or want to collaborate on safety initiatives.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to keeping our school community safe!
