Welcome back Patriots! We missed you.

Patrick Families-As we embark on a new year, I wanted to communicate some reminders about coming to the building for whatever needs that you might have.

We want your visit to our building to always be warm, welcoming, smooth, and positive for you. Please be prepared to do the following each time you visit.

Ring the doorbell.

Show your face and government issued ID on the doorbell camera.

Office staff will view you through the camera on the doorbell and will ask you various questions to determine your purpose for visiting our building.

Then, the door will be unlocked for you to enter the foyer and possibly the front office. Please keep your ID in hand to show office staff once you enter the front office.

When you enter the building, please DO NOT hold the door for anyone else to enter. EVERY person must follow the same process that you followed to enter the building.

Thank you for your understanding and compliance with these procedures! It is going to be a great year!
