Safety & Security

MISSION

Providence Day is committed to providing a safe, secure and supportive community for students, faculty, staff and visitors as part of the school’s enterprise risk management strategy. The all-hazards preparedness approach to school safety includes prevention, protection, mitigation, response and recovery, following current best practices to ensure a warm, welcoming and resilient campus.

A SHARED COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY

Everyone recognizes that the safety and security of our students is a shared responsibility. All employees complete an opening of the school year intensive training and continue throughout the year with additional hands-on, classroom and online training, as well as participate in 14 drills with students who are entrusted to our care. This ongoing educational campaign reinforces that safety and security remain a priority for the entire Providence Day School community.
