ACS is continually seeking ways to enhance security on our school campus. Since the start of the school year, we have added new security cameras, monitoring screens, and security guards, and are in the process of installing keyless entry to our main entrances.
In response to several security recommendations, an important change in our morning drop-off procedures was implemented last week.  All elementary students arriving after 8:00 a.m. are now to enter only through the main school entrance.  Parents who are dropping off an elementary student are asked to say your good-byes either outside or in the school’s main lobby.  There will be an administrator at the front door and in the lobby, and an elementary teacher waiting at the entrance doors to the Multi-Purpose Room to ensure that students get to where they need to be.
An email regarding these new security enhancements was sent to elementary parents by Gail Alford, Director of Early and Elementary Education on Monday, October 30. We appreciate the cooperation and support of our school family as we seek to make our school campus a safe place for our students and visitors.
