Students’ safety will be assured through close supervision of students in all NWRESD facilities during the hours when students are normally present. Such supervision does not include early morning or the time following usual departure, unless students are present for a scheduled activity. Hours when supervision is available shall be included in handbooks, guidelines or other NWRESD-provided information. 

The NWRESD further assures the following practices: 

1. Maintaining a safe environment; appropriate personnel will be responsible for periodically inspecting the physical condition of all NWRESD buildings and grounds; 

2. Observing safe practices on the part of NWRESD personnel and students, particularly in those areas of instruction or extracurricular activities that offer special hazards; 

3. Offering safety education to students as germane to particular subjects such as laboratory courses in science, shop courses, health and physical education; 

4. Providing first-aid care for students in case of accident or sudden illness through the services of the NWRESD nurse; 

5. Providing adequate supervision on the grounds when they are used by students during school hours.  

In addition, NWRESD personnel will be concerned about suspicious strangers loitering in or near NWRESD facilities or sitting in parked automobiles nearby. The administrator will notify law enforcement if circumstances warrant such action. 

Teachers are encouraged to instruct students not to accept gifts or automobile rides from strangers.  Students are encouraged instructed to tell teachers, their parents, law enforcement or other staff of any suspicious strangers.
