Building Security

Student safety is a priority. Doors to the school are locked during the school day; visitors must show ID at the front desk upon entering the building. Each campus has a full-time School Resource Officer who is a member of our local law enforcement agency, and cameras throughout the building are monitored during the school day for everyone’s protection.

Breakfast/Lunch

The cafeterias at Great Oaks campuses are cashless; cash is not accepted at checkout during meals. Students will need to add money to their EZ Pay account online (See below) or by taking cash to their campus registrar prior to school starting and throughout the school year.
Breakfast begins at 7:15 am
