Smith-Green Community Schools

Smith-Green School Corporation has safety protocols in place to provide a safe learning environment to our students and staff. Staff and students practice safety drills monthly and all drills are in compliance with state safety requirements. SGCS also has several staff members who are certified school safety specialists through the Indiana School Safety Specialist Academy.

During the 2018-2019 school year, SGCS added a school resource officer (SRO) to our staff. Officer Garry Jones is a full time officer with the Churubusco Police Department. In addition to our partnership with the Churubusco Police Department a portion of the SRO salary is supported by the Indiana Department of Education School Safety Grant.

Officer Jones can be contacted at 260-693-2131 ext 2004.

SGCS Visitor Policy

Thank you for showing an interest in visiting and/or volunteering to help students and staff in the Smith-Green Community School District.  We appreciate that many parents and community members want to visit or volunteer at our schools.  The safety of our students and staff is a top priority, so we ask your help in this process.   

• Step 1: Contact the school you wish to visit and/or volunteer. 
• Step 2: Regardless of whether you would like to volunteer to help in a classroom or simply visit a student during lunch, ALL Volunteers AND Visitors must complete the Volunteer/Visitor Application.  This includes a limited background check.  Applications must be submitted annually.  

*Note:  

There will be times during the year, where schools will be hosting large-scale events during normal school hours such as student showcases, conferences, exhibits, Grandparent's Day, etc. During these school events, a criminal history check is NOT required.  Additional school personnel will be on hand to supervise these events to ensure the safety and security of students, staff, and visitors.        

Please contact your school with any questions.
