School Safety 

Safety at South Adams Schools is our highest priority. We want to assure our families that South Adams Schools has a school safety plan that has been created and reviewed in collaboration with local law enforcement. The teachers and staff are trained on the specifics of this plan, and we conduct periodic drills to ensure that everyone knows their role during a crisis. In addition, South Adams has a full-time school resource officer on the school campus. Our school also has specific protocols for entry into our school building, and we appreciate the understanding of our parents and community as we implement and enforce these protocols for the safety of our students and staff. The safety of our school family remains our highest priority.
