Safety and Security: Front Doors Locked
In approximately 6-8 weeks we will have not just one but three keyless entry doors at DOerre!!! There will be one in front, one by the cafe and one by the T buildings!!! Until they arrive we need to just "make it work!"
Here is what you can expect:
Mrs. Edgar will be in the cafe each morning at 7am to let anyone needing in before 8 into the building. There will be someone in the front office to help with entry in the front of the building beginning at 7:45 each day. There are to be no students allowed into the building before 8 AM without a specific pass or without an adult meeting them at the door. So,if you have students coming early, get them used to holding onto a pass that will state what days they have permission to be in the building and who will be supervising them/what room they are to report to. Be sure to tell them where they can enter the building. Now, if you already have a key....nothing changes, just let yourself in like normal...but please DO Not let a student in unless they have a specific pass or are with you until 8 am. Please do not let someone come to you at 7:30 and then release them at 7:45 if they finish early. You are responsible for them until 8.
Reminder! NWEA MAP Testing
The MOY window for MAP closes February 22- TODAY. Please ensure all eligible students test within the window.
