Parent/Guardian Reminder — Playground

A reminder to all parents and guardians that students are not permitted to have parents/guardians join them on the playground before 3:15 p.m.

The playground remains part of the school day until 3:15 p.m., and students need to remain under the supervision of school staff until the school day has officially ended.

Parents/guardians are welcome to join their child on the playground beginning at 3:15 p.m.

Thank you for helping us maintain appropriate supervision and ensure a safe and consistent environment for all of our students. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!



Parent/Guardian Reminder: Pickup Parking



A friendly reminder to all parents and guardians picking up students: please park on the street and not in the teachers’ parking lot during pickup.



Our teachers and staff may need to leave school before the end of the regular school day. When a parent/guardian’s vehicle is parked in the teachers’ parking lot or blocking the exit, it can prevent staff from being able to leave when needed.



We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in keeping the teachers’ parking area clear and using the street for student pickup.



Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe, organized, and running smoothly!





Bulldogmatic!
