Text Box: SAFETY REMINDER Text Box: You are encouraged to visit the school often but please be reminded that everyone  entering the school during the school day is required to come into the main office to sign in and receive a visitor’s pass.  Our staff will ask anyone they do not recognize to identify themselves and report to the main office.  All school doors will remain secure throughout the school day.  Although we see many of you daily we DO NEED everyone to cooperate with the sign-in procedure.
