The Riflemen Weekly Update

Dear Daniel Morgan Middle School Students and Families,

We returned from Winter Break with a very short week! Behavior tracking for our next PBIS event has begun. We will have a dance and open gym right after school on January 23rd. Students may not have any ISR, OSS, or OSR during the second semester to attend this event.

Have a great evening and please feel free to reach out to me if you are in need of any assistance!

To enhance the safety and security of all students, staff, and visitors to Daniel Morgan, weapons detectors have been implemented on campus during the second semester. All those visiting the school will also pass through the detectors. Upon arrival to school, students will be asked to remove the following items when they walk through the detectors. These items may be checked individually:

• Chromebooks
• Binders
• Scissors
• Eyeglass cases
• Large metal water bottles

During athletic events weapons detectors will be set up for all spectators to pass through while attending the event. The following guidelines are given for athletic events:

• Small purse type bags will be permitted. Larger bags should remain in vehicles or at home.
• Spectators are encourage to arrive early and avoid this list of common items that set off the detectors:
• Adult sized scissors, aerosol cans, cameras, Chromebooks and other laptops, eyeglass cases, iPads and other tablets, metal utensils such as forks, three ringer binders larger than 1.5 inches, umbrellas, water bottles with metal components, wheeled and rolling backpacks.
• Keys and cell phones will not set off alarms. Please note that this is not a comprehensive list of items that may set off the weapons detectors.
