All members of a learning community deserve to learn and work in a safe and nurturing atmosphere. Conversely, all members of the school community should conscientiously create a safe and caring environment in which to work and learn. The school’s teachers, staff, and principal have the responsibility to set the positive tone that lays the foundation for daily learning and socializing. The school must be prepared for emergencies and disasters and communicate these plans to all members of the learning community. A safe school community maximizes learning potential. This Comprehensive School Safety Plan for Santa Clara Elementary School provides guidance to all members of the school community regarding all issues of school safety. The plan is comprised of two components.

Component I addresses issues regarding school climate. It includes strategies and goals to improve academic achievement, character and citizenship, attendance, positive behavior, discipline issues, and parent involvement. In short, its goal is to guide us toward maintaining a caring and nurturing school community where people enjoy working and learning. Component II addresses issues regarding the physical environment of the school. It includes strategies and goals to improve the school’s cleanliness and appearance, emergency and crisis response, and site security.
