Although Ogden has long appreciated and promoted an attitude of welcomed, relaxed visitations, the number of national and metropolitan school security breaches in the last few years has necessitated a more structured and controlled visitation/entrance policy at all district schools to better ensure the health, well-being, and security of our children. Therefore, parents are reminded that:
--All doors to Ogden Avenue School will be locked during school hours.
--Visitors will have to ring a security bell at the Waiola South entrance and will be buzzed into the office to sign in. All visitors must wear a visitor's badge throughout their visitation.
Again, the only public access to Ogden School will be via the main Waiola Street office door entrance between 7:30am and 4:00pm. BASE parents who drop off and pick up their children before and after school will be required to utilize a doorbell system located at the kindergarten door that is activated and monitored by the BASE staff.
Student entrance procedures will continue in effect between 8:10 and 8:20am and 12:15 and 12:25pm under the supervised monitoring of school personnel and student safety patrol students. All late entrance students after 8:20am and 12:15pm will have to enter via the main south Waiola Avenue office entrance and report to the health office for an "Admit Slip" to class. As a reminder to students and parents, the Waiola south entrance is to be used only if a student is late (arriving after 8:20am or after 12:15pm). Otherwise, students should use either the Waiola Kindergarten entrance (Kindergarten only), the bike entrance, or either of the entrance doors off the playground.
Student departures at lunchtime and at the end of the school day continue via their assigned grade level exits. As a reminder to students and parents, the Waiola main entrance may not be used as an exit except when being dismissed from an after school activity. All students should use their assigned grade level exit:
--Grades 1 - 6, via the east Spring Avenue playground exits. --Kindergarten, via the north Waiola exit. --Bicycle students via the west Waiola bicycle lot exit.
All older students who accompany kindergarten students home are to meet them outside the northwest Waiola Kindergarten exit.
