As a school community, we work hard to keep our school a safe, caring, and productive environment. Therefore, I wanted to send some refreshers and updates of the Safety Procedures in our building.
* Children and parents are not to be in the building before the bell rings in the morning, unless on specific business with a teacher or the Office. If your child is eating breakfast, he/she is to stay in the multipurpose room or return outside when finished. There is no supervision before the bell rings, so you should be with your child.
* All doors will be locked after the bell rings, except the front door of the school. DO NOT OPEN ANY DOORS FOR OTHERS. Doors are locked for a reason and some doors are not meant to be entrances (especially the door by our Kindergarten classrooms). If an adult is entering the building during the school day, he or she must use the front door and check in at the Office each time. You must display a Visitor's Badge.
* If you are picking your child up before the bell rings at the end of the day, you must check in at the Office and check your child out for the school day. This is something I have been a bit lax on in the past - usually I'd let you slide if it was a matter of minutes ;) However, from now on, I will require you to check your child out from the Office first. You should not be coming directly to the classroom at any point.
* A new procedure is that classroom doors are to remained locked and closed during the school day. If you child is coming in late, after checking in at the Office, he/she must knock on the door to enter the classroom. As always, please make every effort to get your child to school for the bell.
* All school staff are to wear an ID card at all times.
I know some of these seem a little tough and rough, but they are a matter of safety. Staff members, family members, and students are all responsible for carrying out these procedures. Thank you for your support!
