Dear Farnsley Families,
Today was our first official day using the Evolv weapons detection systems at our school. We are pleased to report that things went smoothly and efficiently this morning.
We are extremely grateful for the partnership and cooperation of both our students and their families. Your understanding of the importance of safety in our school environment is greatly appreciated. These systems are another layer of our safety plan.
As we continue to improve the process, please remind your student of these best practices to help the lines move smoothly in the morning:
Select clear and plastic school supplies over covered/concealed and metallic when applicable.
Use three-ring binders with plastic spines/rings (non-metal).
Utilize plastic (versus metallic) BPA-free water/coffee bottles.
Use hard plastic eyeglass cases (versus metal).
Students should “pack-light” and limit the number of items in bags or other equipment.
Keep superfluous metallic items home (game consoles, beauty products, USB drives).
Laptops and umbrellas will be passed around the technology via a staffed table.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact the school office.
Again, thank you to our students and staff for their cooperation and support today. We appreciate everyone working together to maintain the safety of our school community.
Sincerely,
Principal Smith,
Farnsley Middle School
