| Campus Visitors | | | This week we are implementing a new volunteer check in system purchased by the PTA. Before going to a classroom, all volunteers and visitors need to check-in into a computer located on the office counter. Once checked in, a bright yellow label will print and should be displayed on your upper torso. The whole process takes about 15 seconds but it will help us monitor the campus, account for all visitors, and log volunteer hours. We are also very excited to begin a variety of afterschool enrichment programs. It is important to prepare your child for the correct day, time, and location.
