Safety Reminders

1. Speed limit of 15 mph in the area around the school. 

2. Allow yourself sufficient time to get to school so your child has time to get to his/her classroom before the tardy bell rings at 7:55.

3. All visitors or volunteers must sign in at the front office and get a badge.

4. At the end of the day, only come on campus right before the bell rings.

5. Update your list of emergency contacts or check at the office to be sure we have the right phone numbers for your contacts. 

6.  The gate by O building is opened before and after school to allow families to enter or exit. The problem is that families have been jaywalking from the parking lot to the gate and almost getting hit.  Please walk down to the crosswalk with crossing guard
