School Safety and Security Measures
Every parent wants to know their child is safe while they’re away. At Right Steps®, we make that happen by creating secure spaces where your little one can grow and learn freely. From our trained staff and school resource officers to our emergency preparedness drills, we leave nothing to chance when it comes to security. Our goal is to make sure that every child feels safe in their surroundings so they can focus on what matters most— having fun, making friends, and learning something new every day.
Contact us with any questions you may have, or to learn more about our programs and activities, such as:
Key Fobs for Getting In & Out
A safe school environment starts from the moment you step through the doors (if you have access). Access to our school buildings is tightly controlled using key fobs, which only authorized parents and staff can use. This simple system gives you the peace of mind that no one can enter unless they have been granted permission. It’s quick, secure, and keeps everyone who shouldn’t be inside out of our school. Whether you’re dropping your child off in the morning or picking them up in the afternoon, this system provides an extra layer of school security without interrupting the flow of your day.
Childproof Classrooms, Entries, & Exits
Children are curious by nature, always exploring, and it’s our job to keep them safe while they do. That’s why every classroom and doorway in our school buildings is childproofed. Doors, windows, and exits are designed in ways that allow kids to play and discover while staying within safe boundaries. Childproofing helps prevent little ones from wandering into areas where they shouldn’t be, whether it’s an unsupervised hallway or an exit door. These measures let children explore their world freely while school personnel are always nearby to guide and protect them.

Childproof Security Cameras With Procare Software
Our commitment to safety doesn’t stop at locked doors. Childproof cameras connected to Procare software provide an extra set of eyes on the school grounds. These cameras allow school staff to monitor classrooms, entryways, and outdoor spaces throughout the day. Procare technology helps ensure that the cameras are easy to use and efficient, all while keeping student privacy in mind. Parents also appreciate knowing that their child’s day is carefully supervised, with trained staff always in view, ensuring a secure and calm environment at all times.
Shelter-In-Place Drills
Sometimes, safety means preparing for situations we hope never happen. Shelter-in-place drills are part of our school security procedures that help children and staff stay ready for emergencies. If there’s a threat outside the building, these drills show students how to move quickly and quietly to safe areas within the school. School personnel lead these drills with care and calmness, helping students feel prepared without overwhelming them. Regular practice ensures that, if a real situation ever arises, everyone knows exactly where to go and what to do.
Fire Safety Drills
Fire drills are a regular part of our emergency preparedness plan. We make sure that every student knows how to respond in the unlikely event of a fire. Teachers lead children through clear, simple steps to evacuate the building safely. Alarms throughout the school buildings help give us time to react and get everyone to safety. These drills teach students not only how to follow directions but also how to stay calm in case of an emergency. By practicing regularly, we ensure that both kids and staff are prepared for any situation that comes our way.
Employee Background Checks & Clearances
Safety begins with the people we trust to care for your children. Every member of our team goes through a thorough background check before they ever step foot in one of our classrooms. These checks give us a full understanding of each person’s history and qualifications. We also require clearances for everyone working on our school grounds so you know that your child is surrounded by caring, trustworthy adults. These checks aren’t just a formality — they’re an important part of building a secure and supportive environment for your child to grow in.
Mandatory Training Our Staff Undergoes
Our staff goes through extensive training that covers all aspects of school security and emergency preparedness. They learn how to handle situations like fire alarms, shelter-in-place orders, and even medical emergencies. This training gives our staff the confidence to act quickly and responsibly when it counts. But it’s not just about responding to emergencies — they’re also trained in fostering emotional safety, helping students feel secure in their learning environment every day. From recognizing signs of distress to managing classroom behavior, our team knows how to create a space where children feel safe to express themselves and grow.
