Hey Big Sandy: Starting on Monday, August 27th, after student drop-off is complete and school has begun, our outside doors will automatically lock down (8:00 am). The outside doors of our school buildings will all remain locked, all day. If you need to come into an office area (Elementary, Junior High, or High School), please use the call button, which is located on a bright silver box, to the right of every main entrance door. You will also notice a camera inside this box. Once you hit this call button, a front desk staff member will answer you, and you can check in with them by speaking directly to them, as they can allow you access to the office areas. This is a new feature, and one that we know will allow us to keep our buildings more safe, by not allowing anyone to simply walk all the way into our office areas, without our knowledge. This, in turn, allows us to help keep our children safer. Thank you for working with us, as we have worked diligently this summer to increase security awareness and infrastructure on all of our campuses and inside all of our buildings. Also, please be reminded that if you see a State Trooper's patrol cruiser parked at the school, we have been assigned 3 State Troopers that will frequently stop to visit our schools to help ensure the utmost safety of all of our school students and personnel. Go Wildcats!

If you have Elementary students and are bringing supplies to the school, please bring them tonight to Meet the Teacher, if you have them, so that teachers can get them checked in tomorrow. Thank you! Go Wildcats!

Please remember that Aurora Concepts will be available during Meet the Teacher, offering School Immunizations for everyone that needs school immunizations, at no cost to you. They will be available on Thursday, August 23rd, from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, during Meet the Teacher.
