More security for our school.

Our school Is taking precautions to ensure our safety. One of these is the new gates that help keep strangers out.

The fence was also covered to have more privacy.

It´s important to be alert of the drills. Stairs were also added on Fundadores to help our students cross over to the school.

“Reconstruction of the Basketball court” The basketball court is one of the most used courts in the school, when the rain came it destroyed it. It was filled with holes and the floor was mistreated, so the school took action and started its reconstruction. It´s already fixed, and students may thank the school for the maintenance of the court. -Gerardo Morton

As everyone knows, Monterrey is experiencing critical situations regarding safety. Robberies, shootings and murders occur every day. And the only way to avoid being affected by these environmental circumstances is to use security preventive methods.

Personal security: Prevention in the carWhile driving

• Do not place stickers in the windows of your car that indicate the number of children your family has, the school they are studying in, and your favorite football team .• If someone hits your car from behind, drive forward, in the mirror, observe the people that are inside the car and if you mistrust, DO NOT stop. • Avoid stopping to help strangers. Call 086 to inform about the place where someone needs help.• If you suspect you are being followed, go to the police station or to a place where there are enough policemen and guards. • Before getting off the car, observe the environment. If you notice the presence of someone or something suspicious, drive away.• Avoid routines; try to vary your routes and schedules.• Always keep the phone numbers of roadside assistance, police and cranes with you. The cell phone is an extremely useful tool; be sure it has credit and charged battery.• When driving, place ahead briefcases, wallets and handbags out of sight of others.

When parking:• It is preferable to use the parking with fee, it is safer.• If you need to leave valuable objects inside the car, such as phones and other devices, put them in the trunk or glove compartment of your car, before you start driving.• If when returning to the car, you observe that the engine doesn’t work, get out of the car immediately and call roadside assistance. Someone may have caused the damage to attack you.
