Keeping Your Child Safe
The Dallastown Area School District is committed to a safe and secure environment for all stakeholders. Recent enhancements include a reconfiguration of school physical entrances, the use of the
Raptor V-Soft Security System, revisions to district-wide lock down protocols, and the establishment of an active shooter and parent/guardian-student reunification protocol, to name a few.
In the event of an emergency, parents and guardians will be notified by
School Messenger, e-mail, and district/school websites. The
Dallastown Area School District Parent/Guardian-Student Emergency Reunification Plan was developed as part of the district's
Comprehensive Emergency Plan. The purpose of the plan is simple: to get you and your child back together as quickly and safely as possible in times of an emergency.
