School Safety

Security Cameras

Logos School has security cameras located in high traffic areas, including hallways, entrances, parking lots and common areas. Cameras are monitored by school administrators and school personnel. Police and fire departments also have access to our school security cameras, in case of a crisis. Upgrades to the camera system include aspects of the environment such as noise, vape/smoke index, temperature, and humidity.  Logos also has a tracking system that allows us to locate and identify students, guests, and staff more efficiently. All staff have badges that allow them access each of the monitored entrances and exits. Logos staff also have access to assistance call buttons in class to notify administration when a critical incident is occurring.

School Safety Committee

The Logos safety committee is comprised of administrators, teachers, therapists, and front desk staff. They meet monthly to discuss current safety processes, procedures, and systems while making recommendations to administration and facilities management on enhancements or improvements.

Additionally, the safety committee reviews any incidents to ensure processes and procedures were adhered to and makes recommendations for any follow-up with staff or administration if needed.

Secured Entrances

Exterior doors are kept locked throughout the day.

Each morning, students must enter through one entrance and pass through both a metal-detector and a metal-detecting wand.  Students who choose to bring in items  such as backpacks or purses are subject to have each item or bag searched while supervised by administration. 

Visitors must enter the school using the main entrance, where they are screened through a camera and intercom system. Once permitted in the building, visitors are be greeted by a staff member and are required to sign in our visitor’s log system. Visitors will need to present a valid ID to provide us with the information we need to assess any safety concerns.  From there, visitors will be assisted with their purpose of visit with a designated staff member.

Classroom & Office Doors

All classrooms, therapists offices, and administration offices are kept locked from the inside. Teachers, therapists, and administrators have keys to access these areas. Only students who are supposed to be in a class or therapy session are allowed to enter.

In addition, school administrators and staff are present during school start, dismissal, and passing times to ensure an added layer of school security.

Communication Systems

Logos utilizes a VoIP phone system with the ability to notify 911 emergency responders quickly. The phone system also acts as an intercom throughout the school to relay safety information.

During the school day, therapists, teachers, support staff, and top school administrators have hand-held, portable, two-way radio transceivers (walkie-talkies) for immediate communication within the school building. 

Safety GlassAll school entrances, doors, and windows have tempered glass, which is roughly four times stronger than regular glass and is praised for its enhanced safety features.

IT Firewall

Logos has a firewall to protect our student data and information from modern threats such as advanced malware and application-layer attacks.

After school, staff monitor every student as they board their transportation. Staff also keep track of transportation arrangements for each student and ensure they follow those arrangements.

Logos School has built strong relationships with both the Olivette Fire and Police departments and works with them throughout the year. Additionally, the Olivette Police Department has been specially trained to work with and handle our unique student population.

Logos is a no tollerance school. Students are expected to treat each other with courtesy and respect.
