   The Sargeant School Safety Plan was reviewed and updated in the fall of 2005.  It was also reviewed with the staff in December 2005.

The Roseville City School District has developed a Crisis Response Plan.  This Comprehensive School Safety Plan outlines the procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency affecting a school site.  The plan includes procedures for coordinating resources to respond to any emergency including natural disasters, environmental health issues, accidents, or intruders.  Sargeant staff have been assigned roles and trained to work efficiently with each other and with other public service officers to ensure the safety of students and staff.   Monthly Evacuation Drills are held to practice procedures for evacuation and safety.
 
 

 At Sargeant School, students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner, which is appropriate for a positive learning environment, respectful, and safe for themselves and others.  Five (5) basic guidelines have been developed that support responsible student behavior at Sargeant School.

1.         Be Trustworthy

2.         Be Truthful

3.         Be an Active Listener

4.         No Put-Downs

5.         Do Your Personal Best

These guidelines are discussed and reinforced in the classroom and on the playground.  The school uses a variety of techniques such as positive reinforcement, preferred activity time, class meetings, counseling, and parent conferences to help students make appropriate behavior choices. Our “Peaceful Playground Program” helps keep our playground a fun and safe place to be. 

We care too much for our students to let their good behavior go unnoticed and their unacceptable behavior cause them to fail or disrupt others.  Students who choose to be cooperative, obey the rules, and respect others will receive recognition and praise.  Positive behavior is rewarded monthly.

Students are held accountable for inappropriate behavior. A systematic procedure to address inappropriate behavior choices is used, which may result in a parent conference to set up an individual discipline plan. Severe and/or chronic disruptions result in immediate referral to the office. At Sargeant School clear expectations and cooperation of parents minimize disciplinary problems.

     The district takes great efforts to ensure that all schools are clean, safe, and functional.  To assist in this effort, the district uses a facility survey instrument developed by the State of California Office of Public School Construction.  The results of this survey are available at the district office, or on the Internet at: www.rcsdk8.org.  Below is more specific information on the condition of the school and the efforts made to ensure that students are provided with a clean, safe, and functional learning environment.    

      The school has 25 classrooms, a multipurpose room, an activity room, a library, and an administration building.  The main campus was built in 1986. Significant improvements were made in facilities at Sargeant School in the spring of 1994. A new wing was constructed, housing a new library, computer lab, and five classrooms.  The quad area was added in 1995.  An activity room was added to the campus in 1995/96.

     Construction on a new Multi Purpose Room began in the spring of 2004 and was completed in January of 2005.  The new Multi Purpose Room includes a kitchen, stage, basketball court, and lunch facilities.  This building was funded by Bond Measure H.

     Additional maintenance and repairs are done yearly during the summer to provide a safe and clean environment for the children.  Two full-time custodians maintain facilities in a neat and safe condition on a daily basis with support from the District maintenance personnel.  School grounds, buildings, classrooms, and the restrooms are checked daily and cleaned on a regular basis. 

     Adherence to Sargeant School Guidelines, before, during, and after school keeps Sargeant students safe on the playground and in the classrooms.  All the classrooms and buildings are maintained for student and staff safety according to the Williams’s Act.   </
