Just a reminder to parents of our middle and high school students that anyone entering our middle and high school buildings, as well as athletic and fine arts events, will be subject to screening by our new weapon detection systems. Please allow additional time the first week of school to ensure you have enough time to be screened and get to your classes on time. You can find a demo of how the process will work here: https://youtu.be/3xCPzYEwFRQ
