The entrance with the automated doors can only be accessed before
and after school as they are locked during the day for security
purposes. This prevents the doors from opening when the button is
pushed; therefore it is not considered to be accessible or barrier free.
There is no intercom or buzzer to alert the office that someone would
like to enter the building. The portables are not accessible. There are
no provisions for other disabilities. The stage is not accessible
