We believe that by building trusted relationships with our staff, scholars, and their families, we will create a safe environment for our scholars to learn, grow, and thrive without fear of crime or violence. If an incident does occur, we provide thorough detail as witnesses to local law enforcement, and report all crimes and violations to our local police department for further investigation. Officers also provide crowd control at athletic events and other school functions.
Please contact To ensure safety during emergency situations, each school is required to perform emergency fire drills, tornado drills, and lockdown drills. For more information on the district's proactive steps to safety, read Board Policy on Safety. View School Safety Drills Reports. As a District with strong connection to our community, we encourage the use of District buildings and grounds by properly organized and responsible groups in compliance with Board Policy regarding Use of District Facilities.
GRPS prohibits the possession of any type of weapon or look-alike weapon on school property or at any school-sponsored event. All weapons are prohibited in addition to the dangerous weapons defined by state and federal law. Look-alike weapons include, but are not limited to, a belt, comb, pencil, file, a pair of scissors, smoke bomb, air soft gun and BB gun. When a look- alike weapon is used to commit an actual crime or violate school policy, the item, device or object may be considered as an actual weapon.
To report an item lost on district property, please contact the security personnel of the building where the item was lost. Scholars who use transportation services provided by GRPS including Dean Tranportation and The Rapid are considered to be in school, and therefore, subject to all rules for health and safety while on the bus.
Misbehavior on a bus is distracting to drivers and interferes with the safety of all scholars. Behavior considered as seriously disruptive will result in disciplinary action.
