Truman Campus Safety
Safety is my first priority. We will partner with parents and families to ensure scholars are safe. Please speak with your scholars regarding these safety rules:
- The doors to Truman are locked. Please be patient as office staff will answer the door and ask your purpose for visiting.
- Visitors are to sign in and sign out, and wear a visitor badge.
- We are a closed campus for lunch. Breakfast and lunch are free to all scholars.
- Scholars may not leave campus and return on the same day. An exception is internship days (Tuesdays and Thursdays).
- Scholars may not go to their car and hang out or eat and then come back into school.
- If scholars need to leave early for a pre-arranged appointment, they are to sign out for the day.
- We are a drug and weapon-free campus - this includes the parking lot area.
Rights & Responsibilities
We look forward to your partnership this year to promote a safe learning environment. As a reminder, here is a copy of our Rights and Responsibilities handbook to review with your scholar to help promote the safety and well-being of our community: https://www.fwps.org/site/handlers/filedownload.ashx?moduleinstanceid=20116&dataid=247494&FileName=RR%202022-23.ENGweb.pdf
The handbook is also available for download in our top 7 languages at https://www.fwps.org/Page/2123
