INCREASED SECURITY

Parents,
In an effort to improve the security in our building, I am making the following changes. I wanted to make you aware of them before they happen. These changes will go into effect on Monday, February 26th

The 4th grade doors, closest to the parking lot, will no longer be open in the morning. All students, parents, and visitors will be required to enter through the main entrance. The front doors will open at 7:50am daily. PLEASE do not stop or park in the bus lane in front of the school in the morning as it interferes with the busses dropping off students.
All parents and visitors arriving before school, or at any time during the school day, will be required to identify themselves, sign in, and wear a visitor’s badge while they are in the building.
Breakfast service in the morning will end at 8:20am. Students arriving after this time will be given a ‘breakfast-to-go’ sack to take with them to their classrooms.
Parents will not be permitted into the school to pick up students from the after-school ‘Latchkey’ program until all students have been dismissed and the hallways are clear.

We appreciate your cooperation in complying with these changes and improving the safety of our school. If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to call me.
