If you need to enter the building between 8:15-11:45AM you will have to use the “buzz-in system” at the parking lot and drop off entrances to the school. An office staff member will greet you and ask you to state your name and the purpose of your visit.

We will practice fire drills and tornado drills so children are familiar with proper routines.

The school has air conditioning and it is set at a comfortable temperature. Students are allowed to wear shorts, tank tops, t-shirts, and sandals. Please be aware of your child’s classes and how they need to be properly dressed to allow them to work to their potential.

Some classes will be using District technology for learning. Please know that students in these classes may be accessing a google account, which would include a google email for login purposes.

A certified nurse will be at Luther and Purdy during summer school. This person is able to assist with injuries or medical accidents that may occur on school grounds. If your child has a specific health need and you would like to speak with the school nurse, please email summerschool@fortschools.org and we will connect you to her.

Your child will receive a summer school name tag with his/her schedule on it the first day of classes. Please be sure to send this with your child each day during summer school as it greatly assists in student safety and helping students find their classes.
