A former student was able to enter the building and was buzzed in...able to get past the desk and security as there was no 9ne attending putting thr other students at risk. I think every parent should question the school and make sure they are protecting the students.

While I am a new teacher to the building, I hope to stay for much longer. This is truly a wonderful place to teach and for students to learn.
