Panther Patrol Request


Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break.  Over the break the security team met and had some great discussions.  You will see some changes around school.  All visitors / parents must sign in and must have a name tag to be in the hallways.  We are working on the cameras and door buzzer systems.  The security team will be meeting later this month for updates and any new security changes.  The safety of your children is our number 1 priority.   All Doors will be locked at 8:30am.  Due to the safety of your children and productive classroom learning environment we ask that all parents leave the building at this time.                 
 One of the other outcomes of our discussion is a volunteer patrol watch group, or as we are calling it, Panther Patrol.  We are asking for volunteers to be part of our Panther Patrol.  The Panther Patrol group will have various responsibilities on their scheduled day of volunteer.  The morning will consist of standing by our West Entrance (by the 8th grade room / gym entrance) from 8:10 – 8:30am.  At 8:30am we will ask this volunteer to make sure all outside doors are locked and walk through hallways and locker rooms.  We are asking this volunteer to be able to be a visual in the hallways, making sure hallways are clear of individuals and anyone without a name tag and reason to be in the hallways and meeting areas.  We will provide lunch for those who want to stay the entire morning.  If you are interested please stop by the office to fill out a Panther Patrol volunteer form.  We will be doing a background check on anyone who wants to volunteer.  After the background check clears, we will add you to the schedule as you are available.  If you have any questions please stop by the office.
