Safety

At North Arvada Middle School, under the guidance of our Director of Safe School Environments, our team of Campus Supervisors plays an integral role in ensuring a nurturing and safe school atmosphere. They are our eyes and ears, vigilantly monitoring the school buildings, grounds, and nearby areas, addressing any safety and security concerns that may arise.

In collaboration with our dedicated District personnel, local public safety agencies, and the broader North Arvada community, our administrative team works diligently to uphold both school and District rules. Beyond overseeing student behavior outside the confines of the classroom, they actively engage in devising and implementing intervention strategies, always ensuring confidentiality in line with District guidelines.

Safety remains paramount. Our team is prepared for any safety and security emergencies, irrespective of their immediate tasks. They stand alongside our school and District staff, ensuring the effective execution of emergency response protocols:

• Hold
• Secure
• Lockdown
• Evacuation or shelter

If this is an immediate safety concern, please call 911. Also, you can anonymously report anything that concerns or threatens you, your friends, your family, or your community to Safe2Tell.org. They will take your reports any time, any day.

Please schedule a meeting with any of the administrators by contacting the principal secretary. We are always happy to meet with guardians and build relationships.

Emergency Communication

The fastest way to get information in an emergency situation is to follow Jeffco on X and Facebook (@JeffcoSchoolsCO) and check Jeffco’s homepage on the website for alerts. 

The SchoolMessenger system uses what families enter into the Infinite Campus Online Registration system for contact information. Families must ensure this information is always updated.

Your Role: What Families Should Do in an Emergency 

• Stay away. Do not go to the school. This may interfere with procedures. Only public safety personnel will be allowed in or near a school during an emergency situation. 
• Do not call. Do not call the school or security staff. We understand you may want to communicate with your student during an emergency, but calling may prevent them from hearing important instructions.
• Be informed. Monitor your phone, email, district social media channels, local law enforcement or fire social media channels and local news. Jeffco provides fast and accurate information to its community. In some situations, accurate information can take a long time to verify and share. Please be patient.
• Be ready. When you are asked to pick up your student, come quickly and bring your identification to the reunification location communicated to you. Jeffco will only release students to adults listed on that student’s Infinite Campus page. Make sure anyone who could pick up your student in an emergency is listed. This can include neighbors, friends or other family members.
