Safety and Security: Front Doors Locked UPDATE
THERE WILL NO LONGER BE AN ADULT MANNING THE DOOR!
We now have THREE keyless entry doors at DOerre!!! There is one in front, one by the cafe and one by the T buildings!!! We only received 10 key cards, so we will be ordering more so that every employee has one. We have given the first few to the early birds. Now, if you already have a key....nothing changes, just let yourself in like normal.
THERE WILL NO LONGER BE AN ADULT MANNING THE DOOR! There are to be no students allowed into the building before 8 AM without an adult meeting them at the door.
Be sure to tell them where they can enter the building. 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.
