Visitor Reminders

Just a few reminders as we welcome visitors back into the building.

  • As the COVID-19 vaccine is currently approved for individuals 5 years of age and older, visitors are permitted for Kindergarten through 12th grades. This means that students, staff, families, and visitors in compliance with school visitor policies and Principal approval are allowed inside our elementary (K-5), middle, and high school buildings.
  • Visitors are not permitted during lunch for Kindergarten through 8th grades.
  • Building Principals may limit the number of adult visitors in a classroom, or in an area of the building, at any given time.

All visitors must check into the main office to sign in and to be escorted to the classroom. Please call the main office if you have any questions.
