As per district policy all doors are locked at the start of the school day. There are cameras on the entrance and a buzzer next to the main doors. Once the doors are locked, anyone wishing to enter the building must use the buzzer which will alert the office staff who will let you in. You will need to heck in at the office before going anywhere else in the building.
