Safety & Operations

Mission Statement

The Mission of the Morris School District’s Safety & Security Team is to enhance the quality of life in the school system by providing a safe and secure environment that is conducive to learning, and is consistent with the educational goals of this diverse district, while building community partnerships that foster trust, mutual respect and cooperation.

Vision

The safety of the school environment is the top priority of the Morris School District. We continually review and update our safety procedures and ensure the coordination of our efforts through our partnership with local officials. School administrators and crisis team officials from across the District meet throughout the year to review procedures and make additional preparations in the event an emergency situation warrants.

In the event of an emergency...

In the unlikely event of an emergency situation involving your child’s school, school administrators will take the necessary precautions and will communicate closely with police, fire, and health departments to ensure the safety of students and staff. Please try to avoid calling the school as this will tie up emergency telephone lines. Additionally, it is requested that parents refrain from coming to the school as this can interfere with emergency personnel and equipment. You will receive information from the sources listed above on the place and time you can reunite with your children. 

Please remember your cooperation and assistance is vital to the success of the plan.
