CASH Security Screening Info.
Security Screening Held Today - May 22nd, 2024
Policy 709 - Buidling Security
The Coatesville Area School District utilized the Opengate Weapons Detection System this morning for student arrival at CASH. Students were asked to pass around their chromebooks and walk through the system upon entry into the building. All guidelines per Policy 709 and related Administrative Regulations were followed. Thank you to our students who passed through the system with minimal disruption and subsequently reported to their first period class. To view our board policy 709 and the related administrative regulation, please see the information below.
Parents/Guardians - as noted in numerous Monday Messages and another sent last night, please continue to talk to your child of being aware of what is in his/her possession (including in vehicles) and not bring anything into school or onto school property that does not belong or that may cause a safety hazard to them or other students or faculty/staff. Thank you in advance for your continued support!
