Dear Lakeview Families,
Student safety is our number one priority at Lakeview, as in
all Albert Lea Schools. To help with this, Lakeview will be installing a door
entry system, which will allow us to keep our doors locked during the school
day. As visitors enter our building, they will be asked to press a button to
notify and communicate with office staff. Staff will verify the visitor and
allow entry. Once entering the building, our procedure will remain the same,
with visitors being required to check in with the office and receive a badge.
We understand that this will be a small change in practice, but
our building and district feel this is an important step in keeping our
students secure. While our office staff knows many of our students’ families,
please do not be offended if we ask your name and how we can help prior to
entry. Our staff will be getting familiar with the procedure as well, so we
appreciate your understanding and patience. If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to call the Lakeview office.
The door entry system is expected to be completed and
activated this week. Thank you again for your support in this effort.
