Building Access and Security
The main entrance will be open for students walking, driving, or being dropped off at 7:25 AM. All
entrances are locked at 7:40 AM. Students entering or exiting the building after that time must use
the main lobby entrance ONLY.
Security is a high priority, and all exterior doors need to remain locked throughout the school day.
Parents and visitors must enter through the main entrance and be cleared for admittance by office
personnel.
Students who violate these security measures by propping open doors, tampering with locks,
or opening doors for others to gain access to the building put the entire building at risk and
may be suspended from school. Security cameras constantly monitor and record activity in public
areas of the building.
BUILDING EVACUATION GUIDELINES
In the event of a practice drill or an actual emergency requiring the building to be evacuated,
occupants of rooms should refer to the exit signs posted in each room and follow their teacher’s
instructions and the protocols in place.
Fire and other evacuation drills are scheduled throughout the school year. When an alarm is
sounded or an announcement is made by the Principal or designee, all occupants of the building
must leave the building immediately to designated areas. Students who fail to follow emergency
protocols will face disciplinary action.
BUILDING LOCKDOWN GUIDELINES
Building occupants need to respond quickly and calmly when they hear a school-wide
announcement for a lock down. Students in public areas of the building need to go to the nearest
room with a teacher/staff member and remain there until the building is cleared to resume scheduled
activity. Students need to remain calm and quiet following the instructions of the staff. Students
who fail to follow emergency protocols will face disciplinary action.
CANINE SWEEPS
High school parking areas as well as common interior areas of the building may be subject to
periodic canine sweeps. A high school administrator will be present at all sweeps.
