When it comes to choosing the right school, families are thinking beyond academics—they’re asking the most important question of all: Will my child feel safe here? At EDUPRIZE Queen Creek, we believe that students learn best when they feel physically secure, emotionally supported, and part of a caring community.
As a tuition-free K–8 charter school in Queen Creek, we take pride in creating a safe, structured, and welcoming campus where students can focus on learning, friendship, and growth. Our approach to school safety is not just about policies—it’s about people, relationships, and proactive planning.
Here’s how EDUPRIZE Queen Creek builds a learning environment families can trust.
A Secure Campus Design
From the moment families step onto our campus, they notice the difference. EDUPRIZE Queen Creek is designed with student safety and security in mind. Our campus is enclosed, clearly marked, and includes specific protocols for entry and exit throughout the school day.
Key features of our campus include:
- A secure front office check-in system for all visitors
- Limited-access doors during school hours
- Staff monitoring at arrival, recess, and dismissal
- Cameras in key common areas for added supervision
Our goal is to maintain a peaceful, welcoming school that is also well-protected and proactively monitored.
Trained Staff and Clear Safety Procedures
All EDUPRIZE Queen Creek staff members are trained annually on emergency response procedures, including lockdown, fire evacuation, and shelter-in-place protocols. We conduct regular drills with students in a calm, age-appropriate way so that everyone knows what to do in case of an emergency.
Safety training includes:
- Emergency response planning
- CPR and first aid certification for key personnel
- Behavior de-escalation and trauma-informed practices
- Communication protocols for rapid parent updates
Our teachers and support staff know that their first responsibility is to protect the well-being of every student—and that includes being prepared, responsive, and supportive in all situations.
Strong Relationships Create a Safer Culture
While security systems matter, we believe that one of the most powerful ways to create a safe school is through strong relationships between students and staff. When students feel connected to adults on campus, they’re more likely to speak up, seek help, and support one another.
At EDUPRIZE Queen Creek:
- Every student is known by name
- Teachers foster trust, respect, and open communication
- Behavior expectations are clearly defined and reinforced consistently
- Kindness, empathy, and responsibility are part of our daily lessons
This focus on connection helps prevent issues before they start and creates a positive school climate where students look out for one another.
A Bully-Free, Respectful Environment
We take bullying seriously—and we take prevention even more seriously. EDUPRIZE Queen Creek promotes a school-wide culture of respect, reinforced through character education, classroom lessons, and restorative practices.
Our approach to student behavior includes:
- Clear behavioral expectations for all grade levels
- Positive reinforcement and recognition for kindness and effort
- Timely intervention when issues arise
- Communication with families for support and partnership
Students are encouraged to use their voice, speak kindly, and resolve conflicts respectfully. And when they need help, they know our staff is ready to listen and act.
A Partnership With Families
We believe that keeping students safe is a team effort. Parents play a key role in helping us maintain a secure and respectful campus. That’s why we keep families informed about school safety policies, procedures, and expectations from day one.
We maintain:
- Open communication through newsletters, emails, and alerts
- Clear visitor policies and check-in procedures
- Timely updates in case of campus-wide events or concerns
- A collaborative approach when behavioral or emotional challenges arise
At EDUPRIZE Queen Creek, your voice matters—and your involvement helps us create a safer school for everyone.
A Safe Space to Learn, Explore, and Thrive
Whether your child is starting Pre-K or preparing for junior high, you deserve to know they’re in a safe, supportive environment. At EDUPRIZE Queen Creek, safety isn’t just a checkbox—it’s a core value that guides everything we do.
Our campus is calm, structured, and student-focused. Our staff is caring, trained, and prepared. And our students know that this is a place where they belong.
