School Safety and Climate
The Milford School District strives to provide a safe, drug-free, positive school climate that allows students to succeed. Schools must be free from disruptions that interfere with teaching and learning activities. Students, Parent(s)/Guardian(s), and school staff must assume a responsible role in creating a relationship as partners in the educational process of the students. By working together, a positive school environment that encourages the academic, social, and emotional development of all students can be achieved.
Within each school there are a variety of drills that take place throughout the year to ensure our practices are current and so that participants have an understanding of how to respond to various crisis situations. Our school administrators are trained in crisis management and review emergency operation protocols regularly. The District has also utilized Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) trainings for prevention and response techniques and has provided this information to staff as part of professional development meetings.
We employ a team of Constables and School Resource Officers who work diligently to protect students, staff, and visitors. Their presence helps maintain a safe atmosphere where everyone can focus on learning and growth without worry.
School and Building Safety
Doors: All building doors are locked during the school day. All exterior doors lock automatically when closed and building staff check exterior doors frequently.
Visitors: Visitors must enter at the main entrance and sign in at the main office of each building before being granted access to the hallways. Upon entering, they must show identification and receive a time-sensitive visitor badge that must be worn while on school grounds.
Staff: Staff are vigilant in monitoring guests as they walk the halls of our buildings.
