ATTENTION PARENTS: Please join me in emailing the Administration at ASFMS to beef up security for the safety of our children. I emailed them and suggested bullet proof glass be installed where the second set of doors is in the lobby, which allows people to continue into the school, as well as bullet proof glass where the secretary sits, and for that door to be dead bolted. (note: the shooter in CT shot the glass to get in) They can install a drawer, like the banks have at the drive thru to pass items forgotten from home or the clipboard to sign in/out your child. If you have friend's who are concerned as well, please share this and encourage them to write as well. This applies to ALL schools. They say it takes a village to raise a child, but I believe that it takes a village to protect them as well. Pass it on please.
