Hello Tiger Family!

What’s  New at Karshner: Over Spring Break the PSD Operations Department will install a video intercom system at Karshner Elementary. This will provide greater security on campus. Cameras installed at the front entrance of the school will provide staff with a visual of each visitor. A monitor and intercom in the main office will provide staff the ability to see visitors and talk with them.
As a result: 
​on May 1, 2017

· If a person activates the intercom and the staff answering knows who the person is and that person is authorized to enter the building, the staff member can just press the un-lock button and let that person in.

· If the person is unknown to the staff member, that staff member is to ask their name, reason for their visit and to please show their identification.

· If the person does not have their identification, the staff member informs the person that they cannot let them into the building without proper identification.

· PSD employees are to simply use their badge to gain access to the building and are not to allow someone to enter the building behind you.

Safety Caution: Please do not stand on the fence line or call students over during recess to talk or hand them items. This is a safety concern and Law Enforcement will be notified. Any parent(s)/visitor(s)  wishing to visit students during the school day must report to the  main office.
