School Safety

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 have access to our school security cameras, in case of a crisis.

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

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

Exterior doors are kept locked throughout the day.

Each morning, students must enter through one entrance, are passed through metal-detecting wands and are subject to bag searches supervised by administration and staff. 

Visitors must enter through the main entrance, which is monitored with a camera and intercom, requiring visitors to request entrance from trained staff who allow access through the locked doors of the school.

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

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

After school, staff monitors every student as they board their transportation. Staff keeps track of transportation arrangements for each student and ensures they follow those arrangements.

LOGOS utilizes a VoIP phone system with the ability to notify 911 emergency responders. The phone system also provides for intercom throughout the school to activate 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. 

All school entrances, doors and windows have tempered glass, which is about four times stronger than regular glass and is known for its safety.

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

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.

To combat sexual misconduct in schools, the state of Illinois enacted Faith's Law in December 2021. LOGOS School has a zero tolerance policy for sexual misconduct.  In compliance with Illinois law, LOGOS follows all mandates of Faith's Law.
