To help ensure the safety of our students we need to know who is in the building at all times. Therefore, all adults must enter through the front doors, sign in at the office, and obtain a visitor sticker. During arrival and dismissal, staff members and safety patrol monitor the front, back, and side entrances. Only students are allowed to enter via the back and side doors. Parents must enter through the front doors, but only need to check in at the office if they are going beyond the lobby. All staff members wear photo ID badges. Doors to the building are kept closed and locked at all times.
Once the school day begins, the front doors are locked and can only be opened by staff in the front office, where we can clearly view whoever is requesting access. Additionally, we encourage anyone who sees something of concern or feels there is a problem, to immediately report it. We are a crew and watch out for each other’s safety. Periodically throughout the school year, students will experience safety drills — ex. fire drills, severe weather drills, and lockdown drills to practice procedures.
