Safety and Security

Creating a safe and secure environment for our students, staff, and community is at the heart of everything we do at OLP. We understand that a safe campus is not just a physical space, but a holistic approach that encompasses emotional well-being, digital health, and an inclusive community. When you choose OLP, you're choosing a school that takes safety seriously.  Our commitment to safety extends beyond our campus, impacting every aspect of our school experience.

OLP has established an online anonymous tip reporting form for students, parents and community members to report suspected criminal behavior, suicide ideation and signs, bullying and other safety concerns through the OLP website, in partnership with WeTip. The web-based WeTip forms are monitored 24/7. Training will happen for students at class meetings at the start of the year, parents at back to school night, and ongoing throughout the year via school communication channels. 

 

Submit A WeTip

All submissions through OLP WeTip are reviewed by WeTip and school administration. Any tip relating to fire, arson, a bomb threat, weapons, firearms, an active shooter, harm to self or others, a tip that indicates an immediate threat of harm to person/property including social media will be directed immediately to 9-1-1, San Diego Police. Although these texts are confidential (identities will not be disclosed), they are not anonymous.

Intentionally false or misleading texts are taken very seriously, and could result in school discipline, and/or investigation by the San Diego Police Department.

 

  • Closed Campus:  All entrances and exits are closely monitored. No persons are permitted on campus, other than staff or students, without lawful business or an appointment. All visitors are required to check-in at the Main Office and wear a badge. This ensures that only authorized individuals can access our premises, providing an added layer of protection. 
  • State-of-the-Art Surveillance: Your safety is under watchful eyes. With over 60 security cameras strategically placed across our expansive 4-acre campus, we maintain a constant vigilance. 
  • On-Site Security Partners: Our dedicated on-site security partners work tirelessly to maintain a secure atmosphere. Trained professionals who are attuned to the unique needs of our school community, they're always ready to respond swiftly to any situation.
  • Campus Supervisor: Our campus supervisors play a vital role in upholding safety protocols. They provide a visible presence, offer guidance, and ensure that all safety measures are consistently followed.

All visitors must schedule an appointment prior to arriving to campus. Parents/visitors are to check in at theFront Office. Visitors must present a valid driver's license or government-issued ID. Once checked in, parents/visitors must display a valid visitor's badge at all times while on campus. In the interest of campus security, visitors may be refused access to campus or be asked to leave campus during their visit.
