What happens in the event of an emergency at my child’s school?

Ganado USD trains our school staff and teachers in emergency procedures and regularly practices these procedures with students. An Emergency Plan is available in the front office of every school. In the event of an emergency, we will contact parents and guardians as soon as possible. If your contact information changes, be sure to notify the front office.

Student safety is of utmost importance to us at Ganado USD, and we will cancel school if severe weather conditions exist.

What is the district’s dress code policy?

The governing board recognizes that each student’s mode of dress and grooming is a matter of personal style and individual preference. The district encourages students to take pride in their attire as it relates to the school setting. Students should dress in a manner that positively reflects the educational environment, safety, health, and welfare of themselves and others. The district reserves the right to include additional guidelines for student dress. Please read the student handbook for your child’s school for more information.

Does my child have access to the Internet at school?

We are lucky at Ganado USD to have full access to the Internet on all of our campuses and within all of our classrooms. That said, we take Internet safety very seriously. We require all students to have a signed Internet Acceptable Use Policy agreement on file before they may use the Internet. Teachers distribute this agreement form at the beginning of every school year.

If my child is bullied at school, what can he/she do?

Every student has the right to a safe, quality education in a positive environment. A student may submit any concerns, complaints, and grievances regarding constitutional rights, equal access to programs, discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, or personal safety issues directly to the school administrator or to a professional staff member. The administrator or staff member will ask the student to submit a formal complaint pursuant to district policy.
