The office is now available for visitors, however, please have patience as we have a new vestibule entry system. All visitors are required to enter through the front vestibule ONLY and must have identification each time.
To support student spacing during lunch, and in alignment with current mask expectations for adults, we will not have visitors during our lunch periods at this time. Please remember all adults entering the building:
○ Should follow all health and safety protocols including not entering the building if sick

For a quick drop-off of any items (lunches, jackets, backpacks), a storage bin will be available in our vestibule and items will delivered regularly throughout the day.
