WATCH A VIDEO

All Bluffton school doors, as of March 27, are now locked while school is in session. Visitors are required to "buzz in" to gain entrance into the specific building.

Each building office has a camera and video screen showing the "buzz-in" entrance of its building. The photo with this story shows the middle school entrance.

To demonstrate how the system works to allow persons to enter the school, The Icon created this video, using the middle school entrance, as an example. In this video, three high school students enter the middle school during the school day.

The button at the elementary building is located at the right (north side) of the front entrance. To enter the middle school building during school hours, the buzzer is located on the left hand side of the front doors on Jackson Street. To enter the high school building during school hours 8:05 a.m. to 3:12 p.m., use the Jackson Street entrance. Visitors will be required to buzz in to gain entrance into the building at this door.

Visitors will be unable to use the College Ave entrance during the school day.
