Upper Moreland’s School Safety initiatives focus on community, respect, and a positive school climate. Through learning about our students and establishing positive relationships with each and every one of them, we create a school community that fosters acceptance, inclusion, and an environment conducive to not only learning but thriving in their academic and social emotional growth. 

At Upper Moreland, School Safety is everyone’s job. Our dedicated staff ensure that the students find their environment supportive of not only their unique differences, but what brings them together as a student body and representatives of our community.

Student and Staff Identification: All individuals on premises will be issued an ID or a visitor pass.

Relationships equals Prevention: Upper Moreland Staff strive day in and day out to establish relationships with our students. Our intention is to foster open communication with students and ensure access and effective connection to the resources they need. 

Staff are supported with regular training on anticipating student needs and how to refer students they have any concerns around for support with academic performance, social-emotional support, and attendance matters.

Students are referred to learning interventions and enrichment services year-round to support them academically.

Upper Moreland is supported with timely and responsive community providers ready and able to help our students when their needs arise such as Access Services, Central Behavioral Health, and Aldersgate.
