- Incident Reports
- Now that we switched up our pick up and drop off procedures it has been proven difficult to keep up with parent signatures on incident reports at the front desk. Due to to this, teachers will now carry around clip boards with their specific students reports and parent's will be able to sign these directly with the staff.
- All incident reports have to be signed by administration directly after the incident occurs, so all admin will still be in the loop regarding these, they will just be signed in a different location!
