Facility Improvement Update from 2020 Bond
Just recently, the installation of security cameras throughout the interior and around the exterior of the school has been completed. Our Administrative team and Campus Safety Agent are the only staff that have access to review camera footage from all cameras. While we have access to immediately review camera video, which will help support student safety, it is the ability to expand the number of views by our office staff to include some key exterior doors that will result in us being more aware if a student was to leave campus. In regards to the exterior cameras, we have had a recent break-in to our Portable and have experienced multiple car break-ins and theft over the past 2 years. I am thankful for the cameras as deterrents, as well as the footage they can provide in the case of damage or theft around the outside of the building.
OG Supporters
OG Supporters are looking for volunteer help with Staff Appreciation Week for one (or more!) day's event setup or cleanup, as well as help storing items in your home fridge or freezer for a day or two before the event. This is our big staff appreciation event of the school year, and it really does take a community for events such as these to happen! Please click here to sign up to help out!
