School Safety

The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority. Wayne Community Schools is committed to providing a safe, secure, and supportive learning environment. We work closely with local law enforcement and emergency services, and regularly review and update our safety procedures to ensure we are prepared and proactive.

 

  • Delays, cancellations, urgent alerts, and other notifications are communicated to parents through the use of ParentSquare. ParentSquare allows us to send calls, texts, or app notifications. Sign in to ParentSquare to adjust how and when you receive notifications. Note that urgent alerts will be sent immediately, even if you set other notifications to be once a day. For further information, check the Parents & Community Resources Page.
