Important Evolv Announcement

Yesterday, I sent communication out saying that our new Evolv Weapons Detection systems would be fully "live" beginning Tuesday, October 10. We learned this afternoon that our rollout date has been delayed to Thursday, October 12. On this date, we will open our doors at 6:50am to allow more time for students to enter through the system and get to class on time. We will send more communication, reminding students of the new processes next week.

If you missed yesterday's email and would like to read it, you can do so HERE. Please remember that the date in the email has been changed to Thursday, October 12.
