To insure the utmost safety of our students, the school office should be notified when the information on the emergency card changes. We must be able to locate a parent or another competent adult at any time should an emergency arise. We need at least three persons designated to sign out the child. Please inform these people stated on the card that you have listed them as authorized to sign out students.
NO CHILD WILL BE RELEASED DURING SCHOOL HOURS TO ANYONE NOT LISTED ON THE EMERGENCY CARD. SIGNATURE AND TIME WILL BE RECORDED WHENEVER A CHILD IS RELEASED DURING SCHOOL HOURS OR DURING DAY CARE.
In case of earthquake or other disasters, the school will use the emergency card. Students will remain in the care of the administration and staff on the school grounds until such persons sign out the child. The school has made preparations for such situations. There are medical supplies, food, water, shelter, and procedures in place. The school has regular fire, earthquake, lockdown and disaster practices with students and staff.
Additional Safety Information
- AT NO TIME MAY A STUDENT LEAVE THE SCHOOL GROUNDS WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION. THIS IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE. This includes before, during or after school. No child may go across the street to the preschool campus without being accompanied by an authorized adult. Students who walk or bicycle home must have a written authorization on file in office. Permission may not be given verbally.
- No skateboards, roller blades, or skates are allowed on the school grounds at any time. Gum chewing is never allowed. This includes team practices, games, and day care.
- Bicycles are never to be ridden on the school grounds. Bikes are to be walked on and off the property. This includes students and other guests participating or watching after-school events. Riders must have helmets when riding bikes to and from school.
- Bikes are to be locked in the designated areas at all times. The school is not responsible for stolen bikes.
- Students are not to bring toys or personal items to school unless requested by their teacher or day care staff. We cannot insure care or safety of these items.
- Students are not allowed to play in or around the buildings or bathrooms before or after school. They are not to be on the playground unless they are with a coach or day care staff. The Kindergarten playground is off limits before and after school. An adult must always be supervising this area when Kindergartners are in the play area. The porches on Valley Circle Blvd., steps, parish hall, Church, or area in front of Church are never areas for play or congregation.
No parent or visitor is to go directly to a classroom with a lunch, missing work, etc. All parents or visitors need to report directly to the office to request assistance or to sign in and pick up a volunteer badge for volunteer work. Classrooms and teachers should not be interrupted during school hours. If you are volunteering in classrooms or office, please sign in BEFORE you go to your area and pick up a volunteer badge so we have an accurate count of who is on campus at any point in time.
Visitors may not enter the playground our lunch area without checking in at the office and receiving a visitor's badge.
