Every parent can leave their child knowing that we take extra precautions to provide a safe, clean and secure environment for their child. It is The Merit School’s NUMBER ONE priority.
The Merit School offers a set of safety and security protocols that we strictly enforce. Some of the highlights include:
SECURE DOORS & ENTRANCES:
- Our school is equipped with an electronic access entry system that allows only authorized individuals to enter.
- Codes are only distributed for the main building. Only staff have access codes to the academic buildings.
VISITOR PRECAUTIONS:
- Those without codes must be allowed in by a front desk employee and will be accompanied throughout the building.
- Photo identification is required from all unfamiliar visitors.
- No child will be released to any unknown person without written authorization and proper identification.
BACKGROUND CHECKS:
- All employees are thoroughly screened and undergo criminal background checks and Federal database fingerprinting before they can be employed by one of our schools. Teachers conduct strict accountability “name to face” identification procedures to ensure all children are accounted for while transitioning to and from classrooms, playgrounds, buses and throughout the day.
