Safety Procedures

Smart Locks Inside and Out

West Fork Schools has been equipped with exterior door entry management for several years.  Over the summer of the 2022-23 school year, we also added smart locks to all classrooms and large gathering space doors.  These locks have been programmed for specific teacher and administrator access.  In addition, they allow teachers to control lockdown of their own rooms, meaning that, if it becomes necessary, a teacher may enable lockdown, which prevents the use of any cards to open the doors.  Doors also automatically lock to ensure that simply forgetting to lock the door will not be a factor in ensuring the safety of our students.

Local Fire & Police

In case of a security event, it is important that local fire and police officials are able to enter our buildings and classrooms.  For this reason, West Fork Schools provides all members of the West Fork Fire Department and the West Fork Police Department with RFID badges programmed to allow entry into all exterior and interior doors.
