The information on school safety is intended to illustrate the policies and procedures we have in place to make our school as safe as possible for our students and staff. Upon enrollment students receive instructions to report to designated staff knowledge of drugs, weapons or any unusual behavior exhibited by fellow students. In addition, supervisors and security guards inspect and report unusual items. Students lockers and possessions on school property are subject to periodic inspection. Students are under adult supervision at all times and all visitors to campus must first report to the main office.
Staff have continuous access to the office via phones in classrooms and portable radios.
How We Use Technology to Teach Porter Elementary provides a wide variety of instructional software programs to embed technology across the curriculum. Students and staff have access to programs on the LAN, internet, and desktop computers. All classrooms computers are readily accessible during school hours to students and staff. Various programs covering all content areas are available to enhance and refine skills of students. Through the use of Children's Writing and Publishing, MS Works, and MS Office, students develop and write portfolios at each grade level.
