Safety and Security

The District requires that all doors are locked during the school day. 

Via an outdoor video intercom system, visitors to all our schools are required to provide their identity.  Their identity is processed for clearance through the state's  background check system.

The District maintains a variety of active security measures at all times, including video surveillance, alarms, and security personnel. 

All of our schools are equipped with a Delaware County Panic Alarm System (DelPass), which allows school administrators to quickly and quietly alert authorities to emergency situations. 

Lockdown and other emergency drills are practiced in our schools monthly.

A comprehensive emergency operations plan guides our response to emergency situations. Staff is trained to implement emergency procedures and participate in practice drills throughout the year.

The District maintains a strong partnership with our local police department. They conduct building security assessments as well as safety training and information sessions with our staff.

Haverford police officers regularly visit all our schools and are always available to provide assistance upon request.
