One door will remain open in the front of each building, while all other perimeter doors will be locked. Visitors to the school will enter through a front door, which will be monitored by a video camera. All members of the school staff, as well as all visitors to the school, will wear identification badges. Visitors will be required to register in the office, upon arrival at the building. Members of the staff are being asked to heighten their watchfulness of suspicious student behaviors and unidentified persons within the building.
Any concerns are to be reported to the administration immediately.
Students will not be permitted to take coats, book bags and purses to class. We are seeking everyone's cooperation in keeping our schools safe for students and staff. Like other schools in the area, Tunkhannock has developed a cooperative agreement with local law enforcement agencies, which outlines procedures for handling situations that may arise involving weapons, drugs, alcohol and violent acts. Tunkhannock Area School District is ready to meet the challenges of the new century.
