School District has added an electronic entry system to
the front entrance of Northridge Middle School.
Beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, October 29th, the front
entrance at Northridge Middle School will be locked at

to “buzz-in” using the intercom system located on the
wall next to the left set of entrance doors.
This system has been put in place to help ensure the
safety of our students. I appreciate all your effort in
helping make Northridge Middle School safer.
