Yes. We would love for you to not only be involved. Parents are given the opportunity to volunteer and be involved in the classroom. We also practice an “open door” policy, so feel free to stop by your child’s classroom at any time. We encourage you to be a part of your child’s day and you’re encouraged to visit and to attend school parties and functions.
What is the security like?
At Darnall School, the safety and security of your child is very important to us. A code is required to enter the building and to go to the classrooms. Only parents and relatives, or friends with express permission are every allowed to get your children. On top of these measures, we have checks and balances in place to help assure your child’s safety with our risk management system, as well as fire protection and drills. If you have any other questions, we are more than happy to discuss our policies with you.
