Message from the Principal: Playground

As the weather warms up, more students are arriving early to school to play on the playground as well as remaining on campus after school to spend time on the playground. We do not have staff members available to supervise students on the playground before or after school. I want to remind families that students are only permitted to be on the playground before or after school if they havetheirparent with them. We do not want to limit students' access to the equipment, but we want to make sure there is a parent or guardian present for each child on the playground to ensure the safety of all students while they are on campus.
