SAFETY UPGRADES
First, PTO has helped with the purchase of Bolo Sticks for every room in the school. Bolo Sticks provide a means to bolt the doors closed in case of a school threat.
We have now upgraded our security cameras and have a total of 22 cameras that view various areas of our school and campus. We are working to increase that number.
Please be sure to join PTO and support their efforts as they help with these important safety and security upgrades.
