Building Access Information (review)
In addition to our new door security, we also have door security cameras throughout the campus. The access code given
to students is a working access code for our students and families. If you don't remember the code, please check with
the front office.

Directions for access: At the front door to either building you will notice a much larger keypad with a built in camera.
To gain access you must first press the pound sign (#) and then enter the 4 digit code. You will hear a slight click, which
indicates the door is open. Pull the door towards you and then push to open. If you watch the message window at the top
of the keypad it will guide you through the steps.

The front door of each building is the only door that requires the pound sign first and then the 4 digit code. At
any other door, just enter the 4 digit code.

If you have forgotten the code and not checked with the office, you may still gain access through either front door.
Using the arrow keys on the keypad, select which building you wish to enter and then press the door bell button. The
front office will be able to buzz you in.
