The Suffield Public Schools continue to be vigilant in our elimination of the possession or use of illegal substances on school grounds and strive to maintain a safe learning environment for all students, staff, and visitors by promoting school buildings and grounds that are free from illegal substances and contraband. Foremost, our school community continues to build a school climate that promotes respectful and healthy relationships.This results in students coming forward to administrators, teachers, and our school resource officer when they are concerned about the health and risky behavior of other students.

Additionally, the Suffield Public Schools has formed a relationship with the Suffield Police Department. We have an outstanding school resource officer who forms relationships with students and families to educate students on the dangers of risky behaviors and serves as a resource to families.In collaboration with the police, periodic K-9 sweeps are conducted by the Suffield Police Department to deter the possession of illegal substances on school grounds. Lastly, we are collaborating with the Suffield Local Prevention Council (SLPC) and are promoting a presentation by the SLPC to be held on March 30 at 7:00pm at Suffield Middle School. We encourage all families to attend including interested families outside of Suffield.
