ID Policy/Visiting Our School:

Before you are buzzed into our school, please show your ID to the camera to your left and reveal your purpose for your visit prior to entering the building, this helps to assure student's and school's safety. Parents/visitors, will then be asked to physically check in at the front office to sign-in, show your State-issued Driver's License or State-issued ID, and then you will be provided a visitors’ badge that you will wear at all times while on our campus.
