All students entering the building before 7:25 a.m. are expected to report directly to the cafeteria.

 
If you drop your student off at the middle school entrance after 7:15 a.m., you may not be able to leave the parking lot until after the busses have exited the bus loop.

 
Students arriving after 7:48 a.m. will need to use the intercom to be ‘buzzed in’ at their respective school entrance.

 
The high school main entrance will be unlocked for both morning and afternoon returning BOCES Students.

 
Anyone wishing to enter a building when the doors are locked will need to use the intercom to be ‘buzzed in’.

 
These adjustments in our security measures are in the best interest of our students and their continued safety.
Thank you for your support and patience.
