Front Office Entry Change
While there have been no changes to the outside of our building, there has been a change to our front desk entry system. Once the school day begins at 8:15 a.m., all visitors must press the doorbell located to the right of the front entrance to gain access to the building.
This includes tardy arrivals, lunch visitors, early student pick-ups, or any other reason requiring entry during the school day. Once the doorbell is pressed, our front office team receives a live video call, can ask the purpose of your visit, and then unlock the door remotely.
Please note that the doorbell must be physically pressed for the office staff to unlock the door. Although you may see office staff through the front window, they cannot grant access until the doorbell call is received.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and kindness as our front office team follows these procedures to help ensure the safety of all students and staff.
