Swanson Elementary School is starting in 2020 with additional security measures. Swanson will begin locking our front doors starting January 21 during the instructional day. This new locking system will have our doors locked during the hours of 9:20-3:30 pm. The system will work as follows: when visitors arrive on campus, they will be expected to use a doorbell, which will activate an alert on our video-intercom device in the front office. Once the doorbell is used, our front office staff will respond to identify the visitor, and then unlock the front door for entry after verification has been made. Visitors will need to bring their driver's license or state-issued identification. Visitors will also need to stop by the office to get a visitor sticker after entering the school. As always, Visitors are VERY MUCH WELCOME at Swanson!!!
Students arriving after 9:20 will require a parent or guardian to assist them in gaining entrance into school after the doors have been locked. Please escort your child into the building after 9:20.
Since this feature will be new to all of us, we ask for your patience as we navigate through the first weeks of implementation of this new video intercom security. We see this new measure of security as a proactive, common-sense way of increasing student safety. If you have any questions, please contact us at 861-5300 or via email rourka.spatz@matsuk12.us.
