School 14 Car Parade, April 16 – 11 a.m.

School 14 Car Parade, April 16 – 11 a.m.

School 14 will be holding not one but TWO Car Parades to show all of you how much we miss and we care about you. We would love to see you holding signs and waving to us as we drive around your neighborhood. Because of the limit of staff cars we can have in our parade, we will have one parade with Grades K-2 staff on Wednesday, April 8, beginning at 1:30 p.m. The second parade, with Grades 3-5 staff, will be on Thursday, April 16, at 11 a.m.

Enhanced security in building entry beginning 2/24

The Troy City School District is pleased to announce that we will begin using the Raptor Technologies Visitor Management System in all of our schools to strengthen the security for our students and faculty. We will begin rolling out the technology in our schools after Winter Break. Upon entering a district building, visitors will be asked to present an ID. The Raptor system will check to ensure that registered sexual offenders are not entering our school campuses without our knowledge. 

Important traffic update

Please refrain from double-parking. The Troy Police Department has received an uptick in complaints from residents in the neighborhoods of some of our buildings regarding vehicles that are double-parking, blocking driveways and, in some cases, parking on sidewalks. As an urban school district, we do understand there is very limited parking, but please be aware that these actions not only significantly and adversely affect local traffic and buses, but they’re also illegal.
