Safety

Conifer High School is dedicated to ensuring the safety and security of all students, staff and visitors.

Conifer’s comprehensive school safety plan includes restricting campus access during school hours. We require all students and visitors to show identification before entering the school grounds, ensuring only those with legitimate campus business are granted access. 

Jefferson County Public Library is closed during school hours; patrons may not use the library until 4 p.m.

In addition to these preventative measures, Conifer follows all Jeffco protocols for handling emergencies, including lockdown drills and evacuation procedures. These protocols are regularly reviewed and practiced to ensure that all members of the school community are prepared to respond effectively in the event of a crisis.

Closed Campus For 9th - 10th-Graders

Ninth- and 10th-grade students are not allowed to leave campus for lunch and may only leave campus with their parents or guardians.

Campus is not closed for 11th- and 12th-grade students; they may leave campus during lunch or off blocks.

Safety in Jeffco

Jeffco Public Schools is committed to protecting the safety and well-being of our students and staff. The Department of School Safety & Security takes pride in providing the safest environment for all students. All staff, students and school communities deserve an environment that is welcoming and without threats, bullying, intimidation and harassment.

To receive important emails, texts and phone calls, families must keep their phone number and email updated in Infinite Campus.

The district has over 150 safety and security staff in Campus Security, Dispatch, Emergency Management, Armed Patrol and Judicial Services/Behavioral Threat Management working 24 hours a day to protect schools.

All Jeffco high schools and many middle schools have a successful School Resource Officer (SRO) program thanks to strong partnerships with every first responder and Law Enforcement agency in Jefferson County.

Emergency Communication

The fastest way to get information in an emergency situation is to follow Jeffco on X and Facebook (@JeffcoSchoolsCO) and check Jeffco’s homepage on the website for alerts. 

The SchoolMessenger system uses what families enter into the Infinite Campus Online Registration system for contact information. Families must ensure this information is always updated.

Your Role: What Families Should Do in an Emergency 

  • Stay away. Do not go to the school. This may interfere with procedures. Only public safety personnel will be allowed in or near a school during an emergency situation. 
  • Do not call. Do not call the school or security staff. We understand you may want to communicate with your student during an emergency, but calling may prevent them from hearing important instructions.
  • Be informed. Monitor your phone, email, district social media channels, local law enforcement or fire social media channels and local news. Jeffco provides fast and accurate information to its community. In some situations, accurate information can take a long time to verify and share. Please be patient.
  • Be ready. When you are asked to pick up your student, come quickly and bring your identification to the reunification location communicated to you. Jeffco will only release students to adults listed on that student’s Infinite Campus page. Make sure anyone who could pick up your student in an emergency is listed. This can include neighbors, friends or other family members.
