Safe Schools

Safe Schools: All Day, Every Day Banner

As part of our safety protocol, Safe Schools: All Day – Every Day, all Pocatello/Chubbuck School District 25 schools are in controlled access during school hours. This means that all exterior doors, including the front door are locked and visitors must be permitted entry using our new video access system. In addition to ongoing safety measures, the district is working to enhance its camera monitoring system districtwide.

POLICIES, PROCEDURES, & PROTOCOLS

We want to assure parents and patrons the district has a number of measures in place to ensure the safety and security of our learners and staff. We have emergency plans to deal with any number of situations. We have a safety committee that meets monthly and district officials regularly consult with local police and emergency services personnel to ensure our emergency plans and procedures are up-to-date.
