This Friday, November 8th, AMS will begin using a new metal detection system during student arrivals.
ALL STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO ENTER BY PASSING THROUGH THE DETECTORS
This system will detect any object with significant metal in it, to include weapons and many vapes.
We plan on introducing classes to this system next week so everyone can be prepared for how the system works. 3-ring binders will need to be removed from student bags and handed to a staff member before entry, but all other material (to include water bottles, lunch bags, etc.) will go through the detector with the student. If the system alerts, bags or items will be inspected before entry.
