Our SROs do so much more than ensure safety - they build meaningful relationships with students and their families, serve as trusted mentors, and help create a positive, supportive school environment where everyone can learn and grow. Their presence brings comfort, guidance, and care to our schools each and every day.

We are grateful for you! 🦊

Thank you to the municipal police officers who joined us for lunch today! These routine get-togethers are so important for building collaboration and camaraderie between our departments to keep our entire school community safe. We are better together!
