Active Playground Supervision by Staff

We need your help with active playground supervision when you are outside with your students during recess and WOW time.

We understand that recess can be a time for teachers to quickly huddle and touch base on pressing concerns, however, teachers and other staff need to spread out during the 30 minute recess period.

If you have students playing on the blacktop area (basketball hoops, four square, maps) to the left of the playground, a staff member/teacher needs to be positioned near this area.

Staff also need to be stationed near the Gaga pit/woods area.

Thank you for your support with this.

Safety on Campus

In light of the recent tragic school shooting in Georgia, we must continue to be as vigilant as ever with safety on campus.

Continued reminders:

1. Doors are shut and locked at all times. No exceptions. No propped door ever.

2. NEVER allow students to open classroom doors for people they don't know.

3. Active supervision. Make sure every single child under your wing is accounted for. Walk behind the class or beside the class so you can keep watchful eyes.

4. Playground and recess- all adults spread out to ensure we have eyes on all play areas.

5. See something, say something! Report all suspicious activity to admin and to the office. Never allow an individual to roam hallways without a visitors sticker.
