Due to tightening safety standards within the building, the main exterior door will no longer be unlocked in the morning prior to 8am. It will unlock at 8am and students may enter the foyer only at that time. The main interior doors will be unlocked, like normal, at 8:10am. This means that students will not be able to enter the foyer until 8am. Numerous communication has been sent out regarding not having supervision prior to 8:10am, when students can fully enter the building. While they still cannot enter the building until 8:10am due to no supervision, they may be in the foyer starting at 8am. Please be aware, however, that staff are not on-duty to supervise students in the foyer from 8-8:10am. Lastly, please do not drop your student off before 8am. They will not be able to get into the foyer until 8am and will have to wait outside, which is not safe. Please call the office with questions/clarifications or to receive information for before school care with BGC at 785-379-5910. Thank you!
