Security Update

Effective: 09/01/2010

To enhance the security of the building and ensure the safety of the school children while they are in our care, our security procedures have been updated. These changes have been approved by the governing board of this church, the governing board of the school and are designed to meet the standards required by the licensing authority for schools in the state of Colorado. If you have any questions, please contact the Director of the school or the Director of Facilities at any time.

Upon entry into the building you will be required to identify yourself to the staff of the school or the church. Once entering, you will identify yourself to the staff in one of two ways:

1.) You will show your church or school issued badge OR

2.) You will sign in using the book located at the entrance.

To obtain a church badge you must complete a request for and appear for a picture. To obtain a school badge you must.be a parent listed on the contact form provided to the school or a designated pick-up/drop-off person on the card. Once the picture is taken, allow 1 week for delivery of your badge.

All persons entering the secured area of the church during school hours will be required to sign in or badge in. Folks requesting use of the restrooms, vending machines and telephones will be required to sign in. If you are a visitor to the main office, you will not be required to sign in unless subsequent business takes you into the secured area.

It is important to note, that if you do not have your badge physically available for inspection you will be required to sign in. There are no exceptions to this rule.

You will be required to sign in or badge in each time you enter the building. This means that if you signed in earlier in the day and left the building, you will be required to sign in again when you return.

Please remember that these changes are designed to enhance the safety and security of our children. The entire church has adopted this policy to ensure that the school meets the state regulations. Thank you for your cooperation.

Blessings,
