Weapons Detectors are now being used every day at all SDOC high schools. Please arrive a few minutes early, clean out your bookbags, and see the flyer for things you can do to ensure we are moving students through as quickly as possible. 

Thank you for doing your part to help keep us safe!

Click here to request a new ID. It will be delivered directly to you within a few days.

Submit this application to receive a reusable library pass for admittance to the library in the mornings (8:00-8:35 am) and/or during your lunch. The teacher on duty should not allow you to pass through the doors from the cafeteria/commons area during these times without a pass. Use only the upstairs hallway and stairs from the cafeteria/commons.

You can always get a Securly hall pass from a teacher if you just need to go to the library occasionally during these times. This pass is for the students who plan to go to the library most/all mornings and/or most/all lunches.

PLEASE DO NOT drop students off or pick them up in the main parking lot or in the student parking lot. Remember to pull ALL THE WAY up to the purple line or the car in front of you. Do your part to help our dismissal run efficiently.
