Our Safety

Security

In keeping with our “Closed Campus” policy, no one is permitted to enter the school without authorization from the office.

CCS is a single entry facility. All exterior doors are kept locked at all times. Teachers and other authorized personnel have a key or electronic “key fob” that allow them access to the school lobby. Visitors and other non-authorized people must press the button beside the front door and stand in front of the camera to be identified by office personnel. The door will then be electronically unlocked for the guest to enter and immediately report to the school office.

Critical incident pull stations with live 24/7 monitoring are located throughout the property. If a faculty member observes a threat unfolding and pulls the alarm, the school will go into immediate lock-down, and the police will automatically be notified of the emergency.

3M security film has been installed on every ground level front lobby and café window and glass door. This remarkable security film makes it very difficult to break through a glass door or window to gain entry into the school. (Search for “3M Security Film” on You Tube for a demonstration.)

Reflective security film has been installed on every classroom and office window to reduce visibility into the room from the outside.

Security shades have been installed on all classroom and office windows that, along with the security film, make it impossible to see into the classroom from the outside. All shades will be lowered if a critical incident occurs.

Security radios are carried by teachers as needed to provide instant communication with the office and security personnel should an emergency situation arise. (when on the playground, etc.)

Critical incident training is provided for all teachers and staff consistent with King PD and NC SBI recommendations.

Student dismissal can present a security risk to students in any school. At CCS, we address this potential vulnerability by using the PikMyKid dismissal system to manage the entire student dismissal process in the safest and most efficient manner. The PikMyKid smartphone app allows parents complete control over who picks up their children and when and allows parents to make last minute changes to their dismissal plans right from their phone. The moment each child gets picked up, walks or drives home, or goes to an after-school program parents and the school office receive real-time alerts and a digital record is created.

Bullying, Harassment & Intimidation

We do everything we can to provide a safe, socially healthy, and sound educational setting for all students, in an environment where students can learn and enjoy extra-curricular activities free from fear. We will not tolerate bullying, harassment or intimidation in any form. 

Because all people (even children) are sinners, we cannot guarantee that intimidating behavior will never occur. However, to deter and prevent this harmful behavior on school property, on school vehicles, or at school-sponsored activities, we implement specific policies and procedures to provide education and correction in accordance with current anti-bullying strategies and Christian principles and in compliance with North Carolina Statute 115C-407.5.

As you investigate Calvary Christian School in King, you will discover many proofs that our goal really is excellence, for God’s glory and for the benefit of our students!
