Safety and security for students and staff is a top priority at Grace. We take this priority very seriously. With the assistance of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office and other third party security consultants, we are continually evaluating and devising policies, procedures and tools to ensure the security of our campus without compromise.
Controlled Digital Access System
All exterior doors across our campuses and extension facilities remain locked 24 hours a day with access only granted through a staff Controlled Digital Access system. Visitors may go to the School Office of our Main Campus to be buzzed into an administrative-only area.
Video Surveillance, Alarms & Fire Prevention
Our campuses and extension facilities are outfitted with an extensive video surveillance system which allows remote monitoring of all facilities by our security team 24/7. Our alarm system is also fully equipped with required fire prevention capabilities.
School Resources Officers
We have two full-time dedicated School Resource Officers (SRO), both with military backgrounds. A health and safety plan is in place to address any security concerns or injuries during school hours and after school activities. Our staff is trained annually on these procedures before school begins each year.
The PikMyKid App
The PikMyKid app is an emergency and dismissal management platform, fully integrated on all our Campuses. It seamlessly connects parents, teachers, and administrators to organize car pick up lines, manage emergency situations, and facilitate campus wide communication, all in real time.
Criminal Background Checks
Grace uses the Raptor Visitor Management System for:
- Criminal background checks for all staff and volunteers.
- Instant screening against the most reliable and up-to-date U.S. sex offender databases in all 50 states for all visitors including contractors, parents/guardians and other guests.
- Check visitors against school records containing custodial restrictions and/or banned visitors.
- Immediate alerts to administrative and security personnel should a visitor be identified as a risk.
- Print badges with the approved visitor’s photo, name, date, time of entry, the building name, and visitor’s destination.
- Generate accurate, reliable school-level reports with a complete sign-in history for every person entering the school.
