Safety Procedures

  • Why are the doors locked?

The doors are locked at all times for the safety of all students and staff.  We ask that all visitors and volunteers ring the buzzer and then proceed directly to the office to sign in.  We also ask all visitors and volunteers to wear their district-approved volunteer badges.

  • How does Pepper Ridge prepare students for emergencies?

Pepper Ridge practices fire drills both with and without the fire department present, tornado drills, earthquake drills, and a Code Red evacuation drill at the beginning of the school year.  These drills are to help students and staff to be prepared in the event of an actual emergency.
