School Safety
- Keeping our students and staff safe is always are utmost priority. Taking precautions such as having visitors sign-in, keeping all exterior door locked during school hours, conducting door checks throughout the day and wearing staff ID badges are all part of an overall safety plan developed to keep our building safe. We also conduct safety and active shooter drills and work with local police and fire agencies to have fully coordinated efforts.
- I have been working with our school counselors on a "scheduling information day" on February 3. This will help disseminate the large and ever growing amount of information to our students regarding graduation requirements, course options, AP offerings, CCP offerings, Pathways and elective choices. Counselors will also meet with students in smaller grade level meetings to discuss the scheduling process. Students will then have a few weeks to get their courses into their IC portal. More details will be coming soon.
