Foothills Elementary School prioritizes school safety with a School Liaison Officer who supports our campus, and a robust Emergency Operations Plan to prepare for emergencies. Our safety team focuses on preventative education and training throughout the year. Through their support, we have added cameras and secured the school’s points of entry.
