Safety routines
Arrival and dismissal
A teacher greets each student at the door in the morning and walks each student to the right car in the afternoon. Only the adults on a family's pickup list may collect a student.
Winter days
Children go out in all but the coldest weather, dressed for it. On the coldest days the head of school decides by 7:30 a.m. and the office sends a message to every family.
Visitors
Every visitor 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 head of school keeps, and we tell students 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 students in the room.
Illness
A student who is unwell stays home until the next morning, and a teacher calls a parent when a student is unwell at school.
