Our NVCS Safety Committee has adopted a prescribed set of emergency procedures in the event that measures are required to ensure the safety of our students. Our Safety Committee has worked in partnership with local fire and police departments to develop the most effective and desirable procedures for our school. These procedures have been adopted for incidents, such as fire drills and evacuation, “lockdowns” for the entire building for exterior and interior threats, and relocation of our students in case of evacuation requirements and demands. Our relocation procedures include a partnership with the church to the east of New Vision when an immediate temporary location is needed. Regularly scheduled drills are conducted on school grounds to ensure adequate preparation of our procedures. In addition to our emergency procedures, we regularly monitor our overall procedures to ensure safety for our students during before and after school procedures, including street signs, crosswalks, and the provision of a crossing guard and traffic patterns during dismissal times.
