School Safety

 

At Chamlian Armenian School, the safety and well-being of our students are our utmost priorities, reflected in our campus being equipped with comprehensive security measures. These include secured gates that are always locked, surveillance cameras for thorough monitoring, and the presence of a dedicated security personnel during school hours extending till 5:00pm for extended supervision.

 

Visitor Protocol: Our campus is a closed environment to maintain safety and minimize disruptions. All guests, including parents, must have an appointment to enter. Upon arrival, visitors will check in with our security personnel and then head to the main office to sign in, after clarifying the purpose of their visit.

 

Readiness for Emergencies: Our faculty and staff are continuously trained to handle a range of emergency situations, including natural disasters and critical incidents. We are equipped with extensive emergency packages, designed to sustain our school family for three days if needed. Additionally, we partner with the Glendale Fire Department to conduct regular safety drills, ensuring our preparedness is comprehensive and up-to-date.

 

Partnership with Local Authorities: We maintain a strong collaborative relationship with both the Glendale Police and Fire Departments. This connection not only keeps us informed about the latest in safety practices but also ensures we have immediate support in times of need, keeping our school community alert and safeguarded.

 

Dedicated Supervision: From the moment our students arrive to their departure, we enforce a stringent supervision strategy. Our aim is to nurture a secure, yet affectionate atmosphere that fosters the development of each Chamlian Tiger.

 

Structured After-School Dismissal: Student pick up is organized at the upper Basketball Courts, designated as our official pick up zone. We ask parents to remain in this specific area to facilitate a smooth and secure dismissal process. Accessing other campus areas requires a pre-scheduled appointment.

 

Support Services: Recognizing the importance of mental and emotional welfare, Ms. Maral Keosseian, our School Counselor, is available daily to cater to the social and emotional needs of our students. For additional assistance or resources, Ms. Maral can be reached at [email protected].

 

At Chamlian Armenian School, the safety of our students is not just a policy; it's a core principle guiding our daily operations and long-term planning.
