Safety & Security

Safety is always a top priority at the South Side Area School District. The District emphasizes keeping students safe at school through strict behavior standards and school resource officers. Security cameras can be found on some buses and throughout the District's facilities.

Security Check-In Program

Each building in the South Side Area School District operates the School Check-In program. When a parent/guardian or any other visitor enters a school they must “Check-In” at the main office by scanning their license at the computer kiosk. A Visitors Badge is then printed out and worn by the visitor. The School Check-In program:

Tracks when and why visitors enter and when they left
Scans visitor driver licenses
Performs an instant nationwide sex offender search. Tracks parent/guardians who have authority to pick up students
Prints visitor ID badges
Prints substitute teacher ID badges
