School Safety Resources

At the Academies of Math and Science, we take the safety and security of our students very seriously. We understand that as a parent, your child's well-being is your top priority, and we share that concern. That's why we have developed comprehensive lockdown procedures to ensure that our students and staff are prepared in case of an emergency.
 
On this webpage, we would like to provide you with information about our school safety policies and procedures, including our lockdown drills, security measures, and communication protocols. Our goal is to keep you informed and involved in our efforts to maintain a safe and secure learning environment for your child.
Please take a few moments to read through this information, and don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. Together, we can work to ensure the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community.
 
Thank you for your partnership.
