Palisades Charter High School works diligently to ensure that all students at our school have a safe place to learn and grow. 

PCHS Campus Visitor’s Policy

The national climate caused by multiple events have understandably created a heightened focus on school safety and security. 

Please read the attached PCHS Policy Bulletin regarding Visitors on Campus During School Hours.  Be sure to note the following regulations:

• All campus contact must be initiated through the main office.
• All visitors must check in AND out in the main office.
• Arrangements to meet with a teacher must be made 24 hours prior to the visit. See attached policy for details on obtaining a visitor’s permit.
• All visitors must display a visitor’s badge while on campus.
• Students may not accept drop offs of any type on Bowdoin Street or areas surrounding the campus.
• Deliveries and drop offs for students will not be accepted in school offices. Deliveries to classrooms will not be permitted. Please work with your child to ensure that they have all of the pertinent materials needed for the instructional day before they arrive at school.

After conferring with specially trained law enforcement officials and security personnel, PCHS will be retraining all school staff on safety procedures and implementing new steps to increase campus awareness of potential intruders and security. Our school is fortunate to have a school police officer stationed on site and a vigilant security staff. They along with the PCHS administrators, counselors, faculty, and support staff make a point to be familiar with our student body and to build relationships with students. This network of professionals shares information about students and families in need of assistance and those who could potentially pose a threat to others to ensure that help is provided as needed.

Today and going forward we must all remember the tragedies of the past and pledge to be diligent in our pursuit of a safe and secure campus.  Your support and assistance in this endeavor is greatly appreciated by every Pali student and staff member.

• Drop off restrictions - Students may not accept drop offs of any type on Bowdoin Street or areas surrounding the campus.

Deliveries and drop offs for students are not accepted in school offices. Please work with your children to ensure that they have all of the pertinent materials needed for the instructional day before they arrive at school.
