Dear Parent/Guardian(s),

In December 2012, the Provincial Government announced its intention to enhance security measures in elementary schools across Ontario.  The Safe Welcome initiative involves the locking of all doors in elementary schools.

Implementation of this initiative will begin this September, 2014 at Alpine Public School.  All visitors (parents, vendors, central Board staff) to elementary schools will access the main doors to the school using an intercom system.

It is recognized that having all school doors locked will be new for our school community.  Our students, parents and staff will need to work together as this initiative is implemented at our school.

If you have any futher questions regarding the Safe Welcome initiative, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Mrs. P. Kaur, Principal
