Immunization Requirements: Proof of up-to-date immunizations is mandatory to prevent the spread of contagious diseases.
Medical Emergency: In the event of a medical emergency, staff members are trained in first aid and CPR. Parents are immediately notified, and appropriate medical attention is sought.

Access Control: Access to the school premises is restricted to authorized individuals only by the locks installed at every entrance and exit of the building. Visitors must sign in and out at the front desk, providing identification.
Security Cameras: Surveillance cameras are installed throughout the premises to ensure a secure environment. These cameras are monitored by upper management to enhance safety.
