Dear Families,

We are pleased to share an important update regarding safety measures at Tilden Educational Campus. As part of the NYC Public Schools’ ongoing commitment to enhancing school security, the Safer Access system has now been installed and will be actively used at our campus moving forward.

What is Safer Access?
Safer Access is a security system designed to ensure that all school doors remain locked outside of designated morning entry and afternoon dismissal times. When doors are locked, visitors must ring the intercom at the main entrance (or ADA-accessible entrance, if applicable) and identify themselves before being granted access to the building.

This system allows our School Safety Agents and designated staff at the main desk to see and speak with visitors before allowing entry, helping us maintain a safe and secure environment for all students and staff. Please be assured that all visitors will continue to be treated with courtesy, professionalism, and respect.

In addition to enhancing safety, Safer Access also ensures that first responders can easily access the building in case of an emergency.

Training and Support
Our school staff, including School Safety Agents, and students will receive training on how to use the system and how to support visitors in accordance with our school’s safety policies.

We believe that the Safer Access system will significantly contribute to maintaining a secure and welcoming learning environment. Thank you for your continued support in keeping our school community safe.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Warm regards,


Sanatha Alexis, Principal
Cultural Academy for the Arts & Sciences Tilden Educational Campus
