Safety routines
Arrival and dismissal
A teacher greets each child at the door in the morning and walks each child to the right car in the afternoon. Only the adults on a family's pickup list may collect a child.
Hot days
Children go out in all but the hottest weather, with water bottles and shade. On the hottest afternoons recess moves indoors, and the principal tells families.
Visitors
Every visitor, including church members, signs in at the office and wears a badge. Parents who help in a classroom sign in the same way.
Drills
We practice fire and severe weather drills on a calendar the principal keeps, and we tell children about each drill beforehand.
Allergies
Tell us about allergies at your visit; we ask privately once you enroll. Each teacher keeps the plan for the children in the room.
Illness
A child who is unwell stays home until the next morning, and a teacher calls a parent when a child is unwell at school.
