Barry Safety Plan

Barry Elementary School will maintain a sincere and dedicated commitment to the safety of its students, staff, property, and the interest of the public. In order to provide a school environment that is healthy, safe and conductive to learning, Barry has worked with parents and community agencies to develop a School-Level Safety Plan to provide direction for school staff in the prevention and deterrent of potentially harmful situations from occurring. This plan, which is reviewed annually, is a practical tool to assist administrators and staff with a variety of issues that occur in an emergency situation.

The School-Level Safety Plan is divided into three main sections, Prevention, Intervention, and Response. These sections allow our school to have a plan in place in advance of a crisis.

Students and staff dress in a manner that will have a positive impact on academic performance and decrease violent and negative social behavior. Local law enforcement agencies have a copy of plans in the event of an emergency. All plans have a system in place to account for every student.

As parents you are always welcome at Barry Elementary. It is critical that you always report to the office first in order to receive a visitors badge. Certain areas in the building are monitored by closed circuit TV. Persons entering the front of the building are monitored and those not reporting to the office are stopped and redirected to the office.

Barry Elementary is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for your child. We have an outstanding safety record that we work diligently to maintain. We are always open to any suggestions you may have on improving our school safety. Together we can provide a safe, secure environment in which our children will excel in.
