School Rule Reminders<\/span><\/p>

START OF THE SCHOOL DAY<\/span>\u00a0–\u00a0<\/span>If your student arrives at school before 8:14 am, please remain with them until the 8:14 am bell rings and then they may proceed to the playground (students only, no parents or guardians should come onto campus).\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0An exception for students who come to school and eat breakfast–they may enter campus at 8:05 am but must head straight to the MPR. They should eat breakfast, dispose of their trash and remain in the MPR until 8:14 am. \u00a0At that time, students may proceed to the playground where staff is supervising until the 8:24 am bell. \u00a0 When the bell rings, students should walk to their line up location. \u00a0<\/span>For your review, here again is our\u00a0<\/span>Rainy Day Procedure<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>

TRAFFIC SAFETY<\/span>\u00a0 –\u00a0<\/span>Thanks to all families who have helped us increase safety on campus by focusing on traffic rules. \u00a0<\/span>Please follow traffic safety rules and comply with regulations.<\/span>\u00a0 Local authorities continue to visit our campus regularly to support us in this area and in some cases, they issue traffic citations.<\/span><\/p>

Finally, please continue to collaborate with us and review our\u00a0<\/span>school rules<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with your Dragons. We appreciate your support! \u00a0Have a great week and Go Dragons!<\/span><\/p>
