Everyone shares the responsibility to report a concern about student behavior or a potentially dangerous situation occurring at Platte River Academy.
We will address concerns as soon as we know about it.
Any student or parent can make a report in any of the ways shown below; keep in mind that our staff has been trained in responding to reports, and they will escalate the matter if/as the situation warrants.
For example, a teacher may bring a report shared by a parent to administration due to its severity. Building leadership may engage law enforcement if the facts indicate criminal behavior or a significant threat.
Regardless of how any report is made, once they know about it, PRA’s administrators will investigate the situation and deliver consequences to students based on the facts. Not only do they have a responsibility to keep PRA safe, but also to know and grow every learner. Every situation is different, and many events involving children require ongoing support and interventions, beyond the initial disciplinary consequences. By reporting concerns and working together, we can maintain a positive and safe culture at Platte River Academy.
Although Platte River Academy is a charter school, we are very much part of a surrounding neighborhood. Because of that, we ask our parents to treat the homes that surround us with the same courtesy and respect they would show their own neighbors.
Part of our long-range plans for the school include an expansion to create space for preschool and middle school. The key to moving forward with those expansion plans is our relationship with the neighborhood. Parents, we need you to take an active role in maintaining a positive relationship with our neighbors.
At PRA, we are committed to creating a safe and secure environment for our students, staff members and parents.
In the summer and fall of 2020, the school underwent several security upgrades thanks to a generous grant from the Douglas County Board of Commissioners. These upgrades include:
