Dear Parents,
I am sure almost all of you are aware of the recent rash of violence in schools across our nation. I want to assure you that King School, with the support of the Ann Arbor district administration, is taking these recent incidents seriously.
We have reviewed our school safety plans and will continue to lock all non-essential doors, directing all parents and visitors through the side-door entrance. Please remember parents must enter the side door (closest to the parking lot and school office) during school hours. The front doors are locked except during drop-off and pick-up times.
Upon entering school during the school day, everyone is required to come to the office, sign in, and wear a visitor’s pass. If this does not happen, staff will approach visitors they do not recognize and ask them to report to the office.
While we see many of you daily, we need everyone to cooperate with this process.
I’d like to emphasize that we have not had any threats to our school or our district. We just want to remind everyone that we must remain alert and vigilant in implementing safety procedures at our schools. Working together we can maintain a safe environment for our children to learn and grow.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Kevin Karr
Principal
