We ask all adults coming to our building (M-F 6:30 AM-5:30 PM) to sign in at the Door 6 check-in desk with a driver’s license or other governmentissued ID to receive a name tag. Hundreds of children and youth will be with us this summer, and we want to ensure their safety in similar ways that our schools, childcare centers, and community centers are already doing.
