VISITING LEX? BRING YOUR I.D.
One of the many security measures in place at LEX is the use of the School Gate Guardian Red Box. When visiting the building, visitors are expected to bring their I.D. and scan it prior to being buzzed into the building. In addition, metal detectors are utilized. To make this process faster, visitors are encouraged to leave all unnecessary bags, purses, etc. in their cars. These safety measures are in place to protect the students and staff in our building.

Want to Volunteer?
LEX welcomes volunteer participation in our school and fully understands the impact parent involvement makes on the education of the child. There are many opportunities in our school to actively participate in the educational program.
Per the Child Protective Services Law and Act 15 of 2015, volunteers are required to obtain background checks (PA State Police and FBI Reports) and child abuse clearances (Child Abuse History Clearance). Clearances are valid for 60 months from the date of issue and must be on file in the school's Main Office before the volunteer is approved to participate in any activities.
The volunteer requirements and the individual clearances are described in detail within the Altoona Area School District Volunteer Manual. For specific questions, please contact the building principal.
