Strategic
Alliances
At the core of our security measures lies a close partnership with local law enforcement agencies.

This strategic alliance is continually reinforced through ongoing training, emphasizing the convergence of our expertise with the acumen of local law enforcement.
Building
Access Program
The Building Access Program ensures the careful control of all external entrances to our campus through the use of secure badge passes. Throughout the day, all exterior entrances are kept locked, with The Archwood House serving as the initial and only available point of entry for all visitors.
Dedication to
Well-Being
At Wakefield, mental health and well-being find resonance in the presence of a dedicated school counseling team. Augmented by faculty trained in Mental Health First Aid, this support system underscores our holistic approach to ensuring the welfare of our community.
Parent Involvement
Ensuring effective communication is the active use of our robust parent notification system. Regular updates and essential information through the parent portal establish a direct line of communication with our community. We encourage families to maintain updated contact information, ensuring a seamless conduit for sharing critical information and events.
During the school year, parents are welcome to attend a series of informative Parent Engagement sessions designed to offer a detailed exploration of Wakefield's safety and security protocols. This involvement highlights our commitment to transparency and invites our families to join in the collective effort of fostering a secure and enriching learning environment.
