Look at the feedback we got from a class visit! I just wanted to take a second and say how impressed we were with Mr. Robinson and his 7th grade Careers Class. They came out to the farm today and we just had so much fun hosting them. They were a very respectful, willing-to-learn group of kids and they represented Diagonal well. Keep up the good work!

September 7th, 2023 Hello Diagonal Learning Community! Thank you for the great start to the beginning of the year! Let’s keep the momentum going! We wanted to send you a message regarding the implementation of our security doors. We will go live with this on Monday, September 11th. The added security measures will help to ensure we are as safe as we can be. We have had cameras and key fob door access installed recently. The doors will be unlocked in the morning and at the end of school for students and parents to drop off and pick up as easily as possible. If you come during the school day, you will need to be “buzzed” in by the office. There is a camera and intercom on the main door of the middle/ high school building on the east side. Press the intercom button and someone will unlock the door for you to come in. If you are needing to go to the Elementary you will need to check in at the office in the High School building. Thank you for being patient in the transition to the new website and app. If you see something that isn’t correct or want to see something added, please contact Mr. Clark as he is the technology coordinator and the person running the site/ app. As always, if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us. Sincerely, Larry McNutt Gary Clark Superintendent 6-12 Principal K-5 Principal Technology Coordinator Athletic Director
