School Safety



| Safety | Drop Off & Pick Up Procedures | Parents on Patrol |

Parking Lot Safety

To ensure the safety of our students, all drivers are expected to abide by the traffic signage and pavement markings on the school parking lot. Parking is only permitted in designated spaces. It is every driver's responsibility to ensure the safety of their vehicles and passengers as well as the pedestrians in and around the school grounds. There is a defined drop off and pick up procedure which all families are expected to follow.

POP guidelines are posted here.

Please remind your children never to cross Lake Avenue without the crossing guard, either before or after school. Drivers turn right on red onto Lake Avenue, and this can cause a dangerous situation for children crossing the street at this corner. When dropping off, please proceed as far north as possible.

School Security

The school doors are ordinarily locked during the school day. Visitors must ring the bell at the door along Lake Avenue. A camera monitors this door and a buzzer system opens the door. All visitors must proceed up the stairs to the office and must register in the sign-in book.

Playground Safety

Students use the playground areas for physical education and lunch recess. Each classroom teacher has a list of rules and procedures to be observed during lunch recess. Teachers will review these rules with their students to ensure safety on the playground. Skateboards and rollerblades may not be used on school property. If students use skateboards or rollerblades to get to school, they need to remove and carry their equipment on the school parking lot or playground.
