Campus Safety Measures

Campus Safety Measures

We work tirelessly to ensure our campuses are safe spaces where every child can learn and thrive. It is important for us to work together as a community to ensure our schools are safe. Thank you for being a constant partner in protecting the safety of our students, employees, families, and community.

School Safety Plans

Our schools have emergency plans in place for a wide range of situations, from natural disasters to bomb threats, to active shooter situations. We conduct emergency drills multiple times throughout the year and constantly review and revise our emergency plans with assistance from law enforcement. Our Facilities and Support Operations staff conduct safety walk-throughs of every Glendale Unified campus to identify any areas for improvement. All district schools are equipped with security gates and cameras, and visitors must sign in and out at every school site. We encourage all families to keep your emergency contact information up to date so we know we can contact you in an emergency.
 

Mental Health Support

We are committed to strengthening mental health support and programs to ensure the health and safety of our Glendale Unified community. Our Student Wellness Services department provides direct support, along with services and resources for our students, employees, and families.

Protecting Our Community from Gun Violence

GUSD Safe School Plans and Parent/Student Handbooks include information and resources about every parents’/guardians’ legal duty to safely store their firearms. Parents/ guardians are required to acknowledge awareness of their safe gun storage responsibilities each year as part of the Annual Student Information Update.
