Williams Parent Newsletter
Week of August 29, 2022
Dear Williams Families,
As you might have noticed we have increased our safety measures here at Williams. We ask for your patience and support for any inconvenience this may cause. Please know that our goal is continued student safety.
Locked Gates-
During the first week of school we had an incident in which a Kindergarten student walked off campus from the office unnoticed by staff. The student was found and rejoined his family. We want to make sure that these incidents do not occur again. Staff has been trained on new site protocols and the following safety measures have been put in place:
- All walk in and drive up gates will be closed by 9:00 AM
- The gates will remain locked during instruction and opened 10 minutes before dismissal
- The main walk up gate will remain open - for one point of entry
Front Doors Locked
- Our front doors will be locked at all times
- The office staff will let you in or call the main office
Classroom Doors Locked
- All classroom doors will remained locked at all times
Raptor System- ID Check
- Please bring your ID when coming onto campus
- The Raptor system will cross reference multiple agencies and verify clearance
- A day pass to stay on campus will be printed if clearance is granted
We want to thank you for your support and patience with our new measures for everyone's safety.
