Playground Safety After School
  • All students are to remain with their parent/guardian before school supervision begins in the morning, as well as in the afternoon each school day.
  • Before School:  School supervision begins at 8:10 for Grades 1-8. Kindergarten supervision for students with siblings enrolled in grades 1-8 is provided in the Kindergarten Yard from 8:10-8:40.
  • After School:  School supervision ends at 12:55 for Kindergarten and at 3:15 for Grades 1-8. At 3:15,  Grades 1-8 students will be brought to the office and must be picked up no later than 3:30pm. Students who remain on campus after those times with no notice from a parent/guardian will have emergency contacts called to pick up your child.
  • Playground rules must be followed at all times before or after school.
