Secure Vestibule Update

The intercom in our secure vestibule is almost completely set up. As of today it will be activated requiring you to buzz in twice to gain entry into the main lobby. Please continue to bring your ID to display when buzzing in and for the sign in system if you will be in the building visiting. The 2nd set of doors won’t open until the 1st set closes completely so please be patient while waiting for the second buzzer to let you in. Please come right into the office for assistance before heading anywhere in the building. Thank you for your attention to this and for helping us keep our building secure for our students and staff.
