D. Suddeth contacted walkthrough last weekend and she said we did really well. There were only a few things that we need to correct. Please make sure all small appliances are unplugged.
Please encourage staff and students to have these areas completely shut-down(computer monitors, sound bars and all lighting off). Dont forget to turn off all lights, do not leave motion lights on...
