Emergency Action Plan

In the event of an emergency at one of our buildings, Glenbard’s protocols include Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter. These protocols were developed by a national organization called the I Love U Guys Foundation. View the video below to learn more.

   
Canine Detection Teams

    Working Dog on Premises
    A certified handler and a specially trained dog work in our school environments to support the goal of safety for all. The dog helps detect and identify potentially dangerous items or materials that may be at school.
