Random Searches
Out of an abundance of caution, school administration conducted random searches last week on Wednesday, March 13th and Monday, March 18th, and when students arrived at school. Providing a safe and secure learning environment is a top priority. Security measures such as these searches are in place to help us maintain a safe school and an environment where students are free to focus on learning. As a part of our commitment to keeping our school community safe, we will continue to administer random searches. Thank you again for your continued support of our students and school.
