The Block Home Program is a priority for the PTA to help ensure the safety of our school children. A Block Home serves as a place for children to go in the event they become frightened, injured, lost, in danger, crime victims, or who are in any emergency situation. The program is coordinated with the Hillsboro Police Departments, and interested people must submit a signed Block Home application authorizing a confidential background check. You do not have to have children at Ladd Acres Elementary School. Anyone in the area of Ladd Acres can apply to become a Block Home.
Studies prove that neighborhoods with the signs visible in the windows deter crime.
