This doesn't really work for the campus style. By many entrances, Our school has one door for each classroom. The only area that might be feasible to make secure would be the upstairs wing that was added a couple of years ago, which has only two doors.

Plus, we're decently nice people, so we don't have a need for metal detectors (and hoefully we never will).

Re: Does your school have metal detectors?

No Metal detectors. Although, my school reserves the right to search: Car, Locker, Jackets, Bags, Computer, Phone, Without our being present for the search. But since we are private, they said that parents must sign a form saying yes to this, or we cant attend. Never has it ever had to be used on anyone though. We only have 600 kids k-12, so everyone knows everyone.

Pontiac northern is the same as pontiac central.

Re: Does your school have metal detectors?

we just recently had cameras installed. no detectors, but i wouldnt be surprised if schools in the area started using them next year due to the shooting at Dawson College.

Yes our school uses airport style detectors for all students and guests to walk though as well as every backpack or package is scanned by a conveyor style scanner like at the airport. Additionally a wand is used for detailed inspection by security staff.

We have a full time police officer within the school.

All students must remove coats and pass them through the package scanner upon entry.

All students are required to have a school picture ID for entrance. Students without ID are sold a new one for $5 or sent home.

No cell phones, MP3Players or electronics are allowed in the school. If found they are taken and returned only to a parent after a 1 week waiting period.

All students are required to wear a collared shirt.
All shirts MUST be tucked in at all times.
Pants must have a belt and cannot "Sag".
No hats or head covering are allowed.
Violation of dress code is a suspension.

Hoodies are not allowed to be worn in the halls or classrooms and must be put into lockers.

Also, full video monitoring in commons, hallways and outside.

Rules apply to all male and female students.

I second that considering my school (Pontiac Northern) is the across town arrival of Pontiac Central.
