Windows in Classroom Doors
FROM: David Moredock, Emergency Preparedness and Safety Coordinator
The majority of district class rooms have now been outfitted with a window in the classroom door. These windows are made of either laminated safety glass or wired safety glass. The purpose of these windows is to allow for natural observation into the classroom throughout the school day. The windows in the door must remain unobstructed at all times during normal classroom instruction. The only times these windows can be completely covered is during a lockdown. To expedite covering the window during a lockdown, teachers are encouraged to pre-hang a window cover adjacent to the window. Some methods used to pre-hang the cover are tape, Velcro, and magnets. It is noted that covering the window during a lockdown is recommended but not required. Hiding in the corner of the room along the same wall as the doorway will still offer concealment, even if the window is uncovered.
SPRING PICTURES May 8th
Picture Day is Friday, May 8. Only students who prepay will be photographed.
