Safety Information


Starting on Wednesday, January 23, we began implementing an additional security measure that affects parents and all visitors.  All visitors who proceed to classrooms or to the lunchroom are now asked to sign in and leave their drivers’ licenses with the front office.  Upon signing out, licenses will be returned.  At all times, visitors must have a visible visitor’s pass on them. We have asked all staff members to be diligent in looking for visitors' passes on all visitors in the building.  If a pass is not visible, the staff member will escort the visitor to the office so that they may get a pass.  

Starting immediately, we will implement the following 

  • Only those people who are on the approved check-out list in iNow will be allowed to visit the school/classroom or lunchroom.  Please notify the school office by phone or note if you have changes in your child's contact or approved check-out information.  You may also email your changes to katherine.burgin@trussvillecityschools.com.  
IMPORTANT
On Monday morning at 8:15, we will have a fire drill, followed by a tornado drill, followed by a lockdown.  We will announce all of the drills on the intercom prior to the drills.  Teachers will be given a script to read before we have our lockdown drill.  Our goal is to prepare students for a lockdown, without causing stress and anxiety to students.  

Do not hesitate to let me know if you have questions or suggestions.  We appreciate your help as we work to safeguard our students and staff.

  1. Was wondering if there is a better way for us to pick up the kids for after school activities. My son has Strings class on Thursday's after school, and us parents can stand outside for a while waiting for someone to open the door for us to go back to pick them up. I know my son gets worried that I have forgotten him, if I am not there at exactly 4:15. Thank you for the help.

  2. This past week, security information was sent home to parents of students who participate in after school activities. Please contact your child's strings teacher if you did not receive specific information about pick up. Thank you for your question.
