Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
We’ve had a great start to the school year, and it’s hard to believe we are already past the Quarter 1 midterm!
To help keep our school safe and healthy, the district will be installing vape detectors and noise sensors in all middle and high school bathrooms and select locker rooms this week.
These devices do not record audio or video to protect student privacy. They simply alert designated staff if vaping is detected or if an unusually loud disturbance occurs, allowing us to respond promptly and appropriately.
Thank you for your support as we continue working together to maintain a positive, safe learning environment for all.
Respectfully,
Dr. Philip Schonebaum
