Before & After School Supervision
A reminder that supervision on our playground and patrols begin at 8:15
AM. Students should arrive after 8:15 AM to receive support to cross the street
safely and be under staff supervision on the school yard. Additionally,
students are often arriving late to school, causing a disruption to classroom
routines and instruction when they arrive.
Your help to support your child to come to school on time is greatly
appreciated.
After school, the school provides supervision at the crosswalk with
our patrols for 15 minutes. There is no supervision on the playground.
Students are expected to go home after school or get picked up promptly at 3:15
PM. If students want to stay and play at the playground, we ask that a
parent or caregiver be present to supervise their student(s). This
request is to ensure everyone feels safe and cared for after school hours.
