With media attention all over school safety and recent school shootings in schools such as Newtown, Connecticut many parents, teachers and students fear safety at schools.

Mehlville’s administration is doing everything they can to make sure that students feel safe. All teachers and administrators are trained according to a crisis manual that is updated annually by the schools crisis team.
A new buzzer system is going into effect at Mehlville. This means that any students or visitors that try to come into the school after a certain time, they will have to buzz in and state their name and why they are here to the office before being allowed in.
Safety remains an important concern for administration.
“We have plans in place, school safety is just ever changing so we have to stay up to date, and communicate them” said Dr. Shannon Pike, Assistant Principal.
Students should report unsafe behavior or any concerns regarding safety to administration, counselors, or teachers.
