We want our schools to be safe and welcoming learning environments that nurture students’ cognitive, emotional, and physical well-being. We believe the safest schools foster a climate of support, respect, and community. How we respond to incidents is a vital component of school safety as well.

WHSD has incorporated the Standard Response Protocol into our emergency procedures in line with guidance from the Wis. Dept. of Justice’s Office of School Safety and national recommendations on school safety.

It incorporates many of the concepts we already use but offers more clarity and consistency in terminology among schools and first responders across the county, state, and country.
