Monster is adding the second phase of video cameras to the building. These cameras will now cover the entire outside and inside of the school and allows us to monitor and check camera activity online. They should be done with this project very soon.
-Our large summer project will be remodeling our front entry system by creating another set of doors for
security
.
-Our new entry system is 75% complete. We will have a buzzer entry system as well as a biometric(finger print) entry for our staff and parents. We can control the times this system is active. This will create a wonderful safe entry system.
-We will be purchasing more walkie-talkies for our staff througout the building to enhance communication.
-We are working on a project to add additional lighting to our front parking lot area.

Uniform exchange tables open
Our students are growing! We have put out the uniform tables by the library. If you have uniform clothing to donate, please drop your donation in the barrel located next to the uniform tables. Please remember, only clean uniforms in good condition should be donated. If your student needs a few new uniform items, please come and take what you need.

Ping Pong Tables Needed!
Mrs. Meyer would like to borrow 6 portable Ping Pong tables for a unit on the Summer Olympics this May. If you have one to lend, please email
