School Safety - A Message from Mr. Valerio

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As Superintendent Leone mentioned in his communication on Tuesday, "the safety of our children in our schools must always remain a priority in society." At Litchfield Intermediate School, we have instituted several security protocols based on recommendations from federal, state, and local safety authorities, including but not limited to:

17 external cameras and 21 internal cameras that are monitored throughout the day by main office staff
Double buzzer entries
Window tinting in areas that will not obstruct visibility of emergency response teams
Securely identification screening at school entrances
Safe School Helpline that allows for anonymous reporting of concerns to the district
Visitor identification badges
Required vendor visitor protocols
Emergency drill training that often includes local emergency responders
Active shooter training that often includes local emergency responders
Active panic alarms that are regularly tested

Your input is essential as we continue to provide a safe and secure environment for the school community. Please feel strongly encouraged to contact me should you wish to sit down and discuss any questions you may have regarding current school/district safety and security.

Michael Valerio

Principal
