Overview District & Site Safety Plans

One of the most important components of a comprehensive district safety plan is communication. We are proud to share that WCSD has an outstanding communication platform, Blackboard Connect.  This platform works in conjunction with Aeries, our student information system, ensuring that we have direct access to our families through email, text and voice messaging.  Our website is updated regularly and ongoing newsletters are sent. 

In 2018, we developed a District Safety Committee.  Our committee is composed of our governing board, staff, parents, administrators, and community  partners.  This committee meets quarterly to review policies, practices, and protocols.  Our District Safety Plan is updated annually and presented to our Governing Board in March.  Each school also maintains a comprehensive school safety plan which includes policies for handling a variety of potential issues specific to school sites.  The plans are developed in collaboration with School Site Councils and updated annually to ensure we address needs in a timely and relevant manner.  Please note that schools do not publish the details of the specific protocols within those plans so as not to contribute to a security breach.
