April Students of the Month
Good afternoon,
Today, the implementation of our weapons detection system went smooth. There was no delay to the start of school, and our students did a great job with this new experience. We learned the following items will likely set the system off: metal eye glass cases, metal pencil cases, flashlights, umbrellas, and binders. You are welcome to remove any of these items from your student's bookbag if they are not needed. However, it is not a problem for students to have these things; they will need to have them in hand to give an adult before proceeding through the system. Our parents and guests did a great job today as well. One suggestion as we prepare for numerous visitors in the next few weeks is to consider leaving bags, purses, etc. in your vehicles so they are not subject to a search. If you are picking your child up early, attending a meeting or class party, you may want to only bring in your keys, phone, and photo I.D. These things will not set the system off. Thank you for your positivity with our safety measures! Have a great weekend!
⛳️ 🏃♀️⚾️ Attention 5th Grade Parents- please see the attachments about Sports Physicals and Sports Tryouts scheduled for next week⚽️🏈📣
Good afternoon,
Tomorrow we are implementing our new weapons detection system. All students and guests will be required to pass through it. In order to help us maintain the normal flow when entering the building, I am asking that all students hold their binder in their hands and have their bookbags on their backs. Please have your child take the binder out of their bookbag when they exit your vehicle if you drop them off. School personnel and bus drivers will instruct bus riders when they arrive at school. Thank you for your assistance!
