Mission:
We are committed to academic success and personal growth for each student.

Vision:
We will work as a school family to educate our community to fulfill its highest potential; empowering students to become lifelong learners by building competence, confidence, compassion, and collaboration.

Collective Commitments:
In order to achieve the mission and vision of our school, Rose Springs staff have made the following collective commitments:

• Be a positive role model and example to all.
• Teach values (i.e. kindness, respect, hard work, partnership, etc.) to everyone.
• Work together as a staff. Share instructional best practices with each other.
• Work to make PLCs effective for all students. We will plan, communicate, set goals and work as a team each week to best serve our students.
• Utilize a variety of instructional strategies to promote student success.
• Provide parents with resources, strategies, and information to help students succeed.
   

School-Wide Goals:

• Improve the number of students considered to be at grade level from the beginning of the year to the end of the year in reading as measured by Acadience Reading.
• Improve year-over-year student achievement in language arts, math, and science as measured by RISE testing data.
• Outperform district averages at all grade levels on RISE end-of-year testing.
• Continued commitment to creating Assessment Capable Learners in our school.

We suggest an arrival time of 8:40 unless children eat school breakfast. Students who eat breakfast will be admitted to the building at 8:20 through the front doors. All other students should go straight to the playground without traveling through the school building.

Please carpool or arrange childcare so children will not be dropped off or arrive too early. Outside supervision begins at 8:30. Students should be in their seats and ready to start school when the tardy bell rings at 8:50.

There is a powerful link between attendance and academic success in school. To give students the best opportunity to reach their potential both academically and socially, they must attend regularly. When students are tardy or absent, they miss out on valuable learning and social experience that cannot be replaced. The fewer the absences the better, but generally ten school days missed for the entire year is considered manageable. Acceptable reasons for being absent are personal illness, professional appointments that are impossible to schedule at any other time, and family emergencies. Babysitting, shopping, and other such things are not recognized as legitimate reasons for missing school. Please do everything possible to arrange vacations with the school calendar in mind. Try to schedule doctor and dentist appointments so that children do not miss important daily instruction. Unless the appointment takes the entire school day, students are expected to attend class before and after their appointments. It is extremely difficult to successfully keep up with class work if attendance is irregular. Even “getting the work” does not make up for missing instruction. Regular attendance is not only critical for a good education but is the parent’s legal responsibility. 

• Excusing Absences: If your child is going to be absent or late, we ask that you please email the school secretary (boldham@tooeleschools.org) by 9:30. Email is preferable, but a quick phone call works too. A voice mail message can be left if the call is made before school hours. If a child does not arrive at school, we want to be sure he/she is safe with you. TCSD has implemented a call-out system that will make phone calls home if your child has not been called in absent and excused that day. At this time, those phone calls will go out starting at 10:30 a.m. 
• Tardies: Being late can be disruptive to a child’s education. Excessive or habitual tardiness causes students to miss important instruction. It takes additional teacher time to explain or help catch up the tardy student. It is often embarrassing for students to be late. Please help us by making sure your child gets off to a good start. The best arrival time is 8:40. 
• Make-up Work: When students are sick, if requested, a teacher will gather assignments to be picked up after school or sent home with another student. Please email the teacher or call to request this service. Please do not drop in during the school day to pick up assignments for students who are sick. We need to give teachers time to prepare materials for pick-up without disrupting their class. 

Students with an excused absence shall be afforded an opportunity to make up any school work, quizzes, tests, or assignments, missed as a result of the absence. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all make-up work, as a result of an excused absence, is completed and turned in. Students need to make arrangements with their teacher within three days of returning to school to receive the work from their teacher. Students and teachers will then decide on an appropriate amount of time to complete and return the work to the teacher. All make-up work needs to be completed within the term it is assigned unless prior arrangements with the teacher are made.
Each family has access to the Tooele School District’s Compulsory Attendance Policy and the Grading Policy via the Board of Education website.
 

Bicycle racks are available for students and are located on the north and south sides of the building. Please be sure your child has a lock for their bike and that it is always used. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the security of bikes. Parental discretion is advised in allowing your student to ride their bike or scooter to school. They must be used with extreme caution and students should always wear helmets. Please be vigilant about teaching traffic safety rules to your child. We will do the same at school. Bikes, skateboards, and scooters must be walked on school grounds both before and after school. 

Policy 6032

Bullying of any type is harmful and will not be tolerated. Many students in elementary schools joke around with each other, call each other names or engage in physical horseplay. Sometimes play gets too rough. We discourage these behaviors at school, but not all of these events are bullying. Bullying and harassment are major distractions from learning and both the victim and perpetrator suffer significant negative consequences when engaged in this type of antisocial behavior. Bullying causes pain and stress and is never justified or excused as “kids just being kids”, “just teasing” or any other rationalizations. The victim is never responsible for being a target of bullying. Bullying is about power. Bullying usually occurs between students who are not friends with the intent to hurt the victim in some way. There is often a difference in power between the bully and the victim. The bully may be bigger, tougher, or stronger, but that is not always true. The bully may be able to intimidate others or have the power to exclude others from their social group. Bullying is deliberate, aggressive, hurtful behavior toward another and repeated over time. It can include name-calling, spreading rumors, abusive phone calls and physical intimidation. Leaving someone out on purpose or trying to get others not to play with someone is also bullying behavior. Most bullying starts out verbally with teasing and verbal put-downs and may become progressively worse if not addressed. Cyberbullying has become a big problem as well. Children are taught to identify bullying and how to handle problems. Students are expected to treat each other with respect, refuse to bully anyone and to refuse to stand by and watch or join in when someone is being bullied. Bystanders are expected to report bullying. Bystanders can make a big difference in whether or not bullying continues. Bystanders are sometimes reluctant to speak out because they are often afraid that they will become victims too. Please help your child understand that reporting is the first step to making things better. Children should not be afraid to get help when necessary. The goal of any effective school solution is to take away all support for the bully. 
At the elementary school level, our goal is to stop bullying from occurring. Children are taught skills that help them handle the situations themselves if possible. Teachers are knowledgeable and aware of bullying behaviors and consequences. While we want children to be empowered and to learn how to stick up for themselves in the appropriate way, oftentimes, adult intervention is necessary. 
If a child is being bullied, they should tell their parents, or teacher or report it to the principal. Action will be taken. Responses to bullying may include the 3 R’s: restitution, resolution, and reconciliation. It may include discussions and re-teaching. Children who bully others must develop empathy and learn positive social skills. They need to learn how to manage anger and to resolve conflict peacefully. We strive to provide constructive learning experiences for children who have exhibited bullying behaviors. We recognize the need to provide consequences for inappropriate behavior, but as educators, we also recognize the need to “teach” students more appropriate behavior. In response to bullying behaviors, we attempt to help our students understand the effects of their actions on the school community, take responsibility for their behavior, and accept the consequences. Consequences for bullying may include a verbal warning, removal from activities, or a conference with parents. A verbal or written apology to victims may be required. In some cases, detention or suspension may be warranted. Parents are an important component in stopping bullying. They can help in making our school bully-free by teaching their children to be kind and tolerant of each other. Accepting nothing less than respectful behavior from our children at home and at school is the solution. 
 

Students who live more than 1.5 miles from Rose Springs Elementary qualify to ride the school bus if they live in the Rose Springs attendance area. Specific route and schedule information is available at the Tooele District Transportation Department or (435) 833-1919. 
Students need to remember that it is a privilege to ride the bus and all students deserve a safe environment while being transported to and from school. Students who ride the school buses are required to maintain the same rules and level of behavior expected in the classroom. A student who causes any destruction to a bus will be required to pay for the damages. Students should also help keep the bus clean and take all garbage and litter with them when they leave the bus. Safety on the bus includes keeping all body parts inside the bus. Yelling or signaling to others outside of the bus is prohibited. Bus drivers have complete authority over the bus and students must strictly adhere to all the rules. Parents will be informed of serious infractions or repeated problems that may result in a student losing the privilege to ride a bus.
Students not assigned to a bus are not allowed to ride a bus to go to a friend’s home.
 

The Community Council is an integral part of Rose Springs Elementary and the school owes much of its success to these organizations which are kept going by very dedicated and talented parent volunteers. We encourage all of you to be involved. The Utah State Legislature passed a law in 2000 requiring every public school in the state to establish a Community Council at the school-site level consisting of parents and school personnel for purposes of school improvement. This is an advisory council that helps make plans, review programs, and address concerns. Parents and community members are encouraged to use the community council process to address concerns. The Community Council reviews programs, and testing results and develops the Trust Lands Plan. Instructional aides, PE, Music, and Computer Specialists are among the things funded by Trust Lands. The Community Council meets throughout the year in the Library, and parents are encouraged to participate. Please watch for dates and agendas on the school website or Facebook page. Agendas are posted on the school doors prior to meetings and if there’s something you’d like included on the agenda, please contact Mrs. Hranicky at least two weeks before the scheduled meeting. 

Please inform the office if you change your address or phone numbers at home or at work. It is IMPERATIVE that we are able to locate you in case of an emergency. 

• Mrs. Hranicky will be sending out a school-wide email/newsletter each month with pertinent information for the upcoming weeks.  Please make sure you have a current email address in the Skyward system so you receive this information.  The newsletter will also be posted on the school’s Facebook page. 
• The district has implemented an electronic flyer distribution program called Peachjar. Through Peachjar, each school can send e-fliers to families. You MUST have a current email registered with the school in order to receive the fliers. If you do not have access to email, please let the office know you will need a paper copy of all e-fliers sent home. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your child’s teacher or Mrs. Hranicky. 
• If a problem arises, you are encouraged to talk to your child’s teacher first to gain a full perspective. If a problem can’t be resolved or you are aware of a serious situation, please contact Mrs. Hranicky directly. Email is an easy way to contact staff. Most of our emails can be addressed using the first initial and last name @tooeleschools.org, however, you can email directly from our Staff Directory at https://rosespringselementary.tooeleschools.org/about-rose-springs-elementary/staff-directory
• Other ways to connect: Our website has a list of events displayed on the homepage or Facebook where events will be posted as well. https://www.facebook.com/RoseSpringsElementary
   

For the safety of our students and teachers, we ask that all guests enter through the front door.  Ring the doorbell camera and be prepared to show ID upon arrival.  Once you are let in, please check in with the front office staff and they will give you further instructions as to where you are able to go.  All guests that are at the school must wear a visitor pass in order to identify that you are safe to be at RSES.  Thank you for your cooperation in this process as this is a measure to keep students safe.
 

• School gets out at 3:35 each day (12:30 on Wednesday) and are asked to promptly follow the plan for their arrival home. Students walking home should leave the school grounds immediately at the end of the day. Bus students must go directly to their bus. If a student misses the bus, a parent will be called to pick up the child. All students should be off campus by 3:45 and by 12:40 on Wednesdays.
• Conduct To & From School: Students are subject to the same rules of conduct while traveling to and from school as they are while on school grounds. 
• After-School Meeting Place: Students are asked to arrange an after-school meeting place with siblings and/or friends. Students should not wait for each other outside classrooms because that creates problems. Please help your child arrange a meeting place that will work well for all involved. Some suggestions include by the flagpole, by the trees out front, at the bike racks, or at the crossing guard post. Students are not to be playing on playground equipment during dismissal, so we suggest other areas for meeting. The area on the south side of the school is designated for bus loading and unloading and is to be kept clear of vehicles. Students may be picked up and dropped off from personal vehicles in the front or on the north side of the school only. 
•  Early Check-Out/Release of Students to Parents/Guardians: In the event a student needs to be dismissed from school prior to the last bell of the day, parents/guardians are to come to the office and officially check-out the student. Only those indicated in Skyward will be able to complete this process.  Upon completion of the sign-out process which includes presenting identification, the student will be called to the office. Parents/guardians are not allowed to go directly to class and withdraw the student. We will not allow students to wait outside of the building for parents to pick them up during the school day due to safety precautions. Students are not allowed to walk home by themselves during school hours for safety reasons as well. 
   

Children are not to bring toys to school unless invited by the teacher for a special day. Throughout the year there may be a special “Stuffed Animal Day” or other such activity. If that happens, parents will get a flier or note stating children can bring something special for the occasion. Any object that is judged to be a distraction or a danger in the classroom or playground may be taken from the student and held by the teacher or turned over to the school administration. Objects will be returned to parents. Gum is not to be chewed by students at school. Gum is not easily removed and often damages school and personal property. Electronic devices can be expensive. If they are brought to school, families assume the risk. These items must be turned off and kept in backpacks during the entire school day and are only to be used on the way to and from school with parental permission. We advise that students do NOT wear headphones or other pieces while walking or riding bikes. 

It is necessary that we have a current phone number where we can reach a parent, relative, or neighbor at all times. If a student becomes ill or is injured at school, parents/guardians will be called. Parents/guardians will be expected to pick up the ill/injured child or to make arrangements for another person to pick him/her up as promptly as possible.

Community groups may reserve the field for after-school activities, but the district requires that procedures be followed. If you wish to reserve the field, you will create an account via Facilitron. After you have an account you should be able to request fields throughout the district. The request will go to the building administrator for approval. If you have any questions, please contact the office.

Children must learn to work out their differences in a way that does not lead to violence or more problems. Students engaged in vulgar speech whether spoken, written, or gestured will be subject to discipline as well. Schools have become more and more aware of sexual harassment issues and are understandably required to take action when problems are reported.  School suspension is possible in both scenarios. 
 

Policy 11012

Please refer to the district guidelines for a full description. If you have questions or concerns, contact your child’s teacher or Mrs. Hranicky. 
 

K-3 students can check out one book and 4-6 students two books each week. If students are working on a report or research project they can check out an extra book as well. Please return books in a timely manner. If a book is lost or damaged, please contact Mrs. Arnell in the library.

Policy 5052

From time to time we are notified that a parent has discovered lice in their child’s hair. Lice are not uncommon in school children, are not a health emergency, and do not mean that children are dirty. Having lice does not justify undue alarm. We ask that you handle this matter of factly and discourage irrational and unkind reactions. According to the Health Department lice do not jump from head to head and are spread through direct contact and sharing items like brushes, hats, and pillows. 

Throughout the school year many personal items are left unclaimed by students. These include coats, hats, shoes, gloves, and lunchboxes. Please label all items brought to school and if your child loses anything, please check in the school’s lost and found. Any unclaimed items will be donated to a charitable institution during winter break, spring break, and summer break. 

State law forbids school personnel to dispense any medication, even over-the-counter remedies, without the written consent of the child’s physician, and/or the City/County Health Department. Forms for this purpose are available on the Nursing website or in the office and must be completed before we will administer any medication. All medication containers must have complete information attached: name of contents, patient, dosage, and instructions. Children are not allowed to carry medication of any kind at school including prescriptions, aspirin or Tylenol. Cough drops are okay. The only exception would be for students with a health care plan and need that requires medication at school, for example, diabetes and asthma. NOTE: State law is very strict and will not allow the school to dispense any over-the-counter drugs such as Pepto-Bismol, cough syrup, Tylenol, or aspirin. If you have any questions, please contact us or the Tooele Health Department, (435) 277-2300. 

All information on meals, menus, waivers, and costs can be found on our Child Nutrition website.
BREAKFAST - Breakfast begins at 8:20 and ends at 8:45 each day. Students leave the cafeteria at 8:45 when the first bell rings so they can get to class on time. Breakfast for students costs $2.00 (reduced cost $0.30). 
LUNCH: Prices for lunch are $2.50 (reduced costs $0.40). To pay for school lunch, please visit the website above and follow the directions given there. We are diligently and constantly working toward good table manners, courtesy and proper lunchroom behavior. We believe we should reinforce good eating and behavior habits taught at home. Each child is expected to practice good manners while in the cafeteria. For sanitary and allergy reasons students should not exchange or share lunches. 
Further questions can be directed to our Lunchroom Manager: Shelly Tracy 
 

Mrs. Hranicky has an open-door policy with parents, teachers, and students. Please take advantage of the invitation to come in and visit, call or email if you have a question that needs to be answered or a concern to be addressed. If Mrs. Hranicky is not available when you stop by, she will get back to you as soon as possible. Please feel free to make an appointment through the secretaries if you prefer.

Cooperation between teachers and parents plays an important role in student success. For that reason, parents should feel free to contact any of our teachers and arrange a conference to discuss student progress at any time you believe is necessary. Please call or email to schedule the conference before coming to the school. Please do not feel you have to wait for formal conferences to meet with your child’s teacher. We will send out information for our formal parent teacher conferences as the schedule is decided. 

Staff members consider the academic needs of the student and attempt to match those needs with individual strengths of teachers. We work diligently to balance each class so that teachers are not hampered in their efforts to meet individual needs. We look closely at the social and behavioral needs of each student to create the most productive, effective, and positive learning environment possible. We have learned that requests for teachers may get in the way of an effective and balanced education for all students. Therefore, we do not take teacher requests. If there are extenuating circumstances that you want us to be aware of please contact Mrs. Hranicky in writing by the last day of school and she will get back to you prior to making any decisions. 

The Tooele Board of Education limits parties held during school time. The school also recognizes the appropriate use of group rewards when earned by the students. Parents may wish to celebrate a student’s birthday or other important events by bringing in a treat for the class. Parents are asked to contact their classroom teacher and make appropriate arrangements. Out of concern for the feelings of our students, we cannot allow birthday invitations to be distributed at school unless everyone in the class is invited. Utah State Code [Food and Sanitation 2-101] requires that no home canned or home-prepared items be served at school. If food items are a part of any classroom celebration, the food items must be brought to school in unopened original containers. Special food presentations and classroom demonstrations of food preparation may be allowed if cleared through the school administration prior to the demonstration. We will also need to clear any allergies that students may have prior to the food being served.

New legislation was passed requiring all K-12 schools to have period/menstrual cycle products available in the women's and unisex restrooms.  

 When a student is sent to the principal’s office for disciplinary purposes, several things may take place depending on the nature of the behavior and the frequency of visits. Consequences will vary depending on the situation. Such consequences may include but are not limited to a discussion, loss of privileges, parent conferences, in-school suspension or out-of-school suspension. If a student is sent to the principal’s office for disciplinary action, parents will be notified.

The Parent-Teacher Association provides an opportunity for parents to get involved in the school in a variety of ways. Our PTA provides many great activities for our children throughout the year including Reflections, Field Trips, the Chalk Walk, and classroom parties. The PTA generously makes teacher copies, provides meals for teachers and staff during conferences and treats the teachers to wonderful surprises during Teacher Appreciation Week. The PTA provides programs and transportation costs for field trips by sponsoring various fundraisers. PTA Meetings are generally held each month. Please consider joining and being involved as much as you can. Our PTA President is Emily Webb. 

Sometimes recess is held indoors when the weather is bad, but most recesses are outside. We are sorry that we cannot accommodate requests for students to remain inside for recess. Students are not to be left unsupervised in classrooms and recess is often the only time teachers can leave their rooms. Please encourage your child to come to school dressed appropriately for the weather. If there are extenuating circumstances or a doctor’s note, please call Mrs. Hranicky. 

Many students attending Rose Springs Elementary walk or ride their bikes or are driven in private vehicles. Children should be taught by their parents the safest route to school. Students should always use sidewalks and be aware of their surroundings. Upon approaching the campus, students need to cross the street only at the indicated crosswalks. Tooele City Crossing Guards are stationed to supervise students crossing the street, one at each crosswalk. The students who cross under the direction of the crossing guard can access school grounds immediately. These are the safest ways to cross busy roads. When students reach the school grounds, they must get off their bikes, scooters, etc… and walk through the school grounds. Students are not allowed to ride/use wheeled equipment on school grounds. Students should not J-walk across roads to meet their ride. They can, however, cross at the three designated crosswalks and then find their ride. Please use the sidewalks and follow all safety rules to be a good example to your children and others.

Parents are encouraged to use Skyward to track their child’s work, attendance and lunch account. The school provides passwords and ID numbers. Please understand that grades will be posted in a timely manner. TCSD Board policy requires that grades be updated every two weeks. If you have any questions about missing assignments or grades, please email your child’s teacher. 

Policy 5004

Clothing, language, and behavior reflect the pride we take in our school and in the pursuit of learning. Proper dress and grooming greatly affect the attitude and behavior of students. Some specific dress standards for our school are: 
1. Shoes are always required, including on the playground. Because children will be expected to play outside, please ensure that their shoes are appropriate for active play, and for appropriate weather. For safety reasons, high-heeled shoes, house shoes (nighttime slippers), wheeled-type shoes, or any shoe that disrupts learning are not allowed. 
2. Students may wear shorts but the shorts must be mid-length high and reach the student’s fingertips when arms are placed straight down. 
3. Halter-tops, midriffs, and spaghetti straps are not allowed. Sleeveless tops may be worn as long as they are modest, at least 2 finger-widths wide, and the body covered properly. 
4. Any clothing with vulgar words or inappropriate pictures will not be allowed at school, including clothing with advertisements for alcohol, drugs, or tobacco are not to be worn to school. 
Parents may be called to bring appropriate clothing to school if the student’s clothing is not appropriate for school. On special occasions, the building principal may designate days when dress standards may be slightly altered. Please be sure that your child is dressed appropriately to fit the weather conditions for the day. Stay aware of predicted weather conditions and dress your child for their comfort and safety. 
 

Student visitors are not permitted to attend classes, visit school, or classrooms during regular school hours. District policy does not allow students to attend classes unless enrolled at our school. Our school cannot be held responsible, legally or practically, for taking care of children who are not registered at Rose Springs Elementary. Please make other arrangements for visiting school-age relatives and friends. 

Parents/guardians/family members may attend lunch with your child but must eat at the designated visitor table. Only those adults who are listed in the student’s Skyward account as a parent, guardian, or emergency contact are allowed to eat with the student. You must check in at the office and obtain a visitor pass. 
 

Teachers are dedicated hard-working individuals. Occasionally, even teachers must be away from their classrooms because of personal/family reasons, illness or other emergencies. When the regular classroom teachers are away from the school, the Tooele County School District has hired and cleared a core of qualified individuals to fill in until the regular teacher returns to her/his classroom. If you are willing to serve as a substitute at our school, please let us know. Functioning as a guest teacher is a difficult job. We need to help them be as successful as possible in their jobs. Counsel your children to be on their best behavior when a guest teacher is assigned. Remind them to treat the guest teacher with respect. 

The school telephones are for business purposes. In order to eliminate confusion in the office and relieve pressure on the telephone we ask you to PLEASE ARRANGE WITH YOUR CHILDREN AHEAD OF TIME WHERE THEY SHOULD GO AFTER SCHOOL OR THE PICK-UP SCHEDULE IF THEY ARE IN A CARPOOL. Children with a legitimate reason (emergency) and a telephone pass from their teacher will be allowed to use the phone. Please do not call children out of class to the phone except for emergencies and please, don't ask the office staff to relay messages to your child unless the situation is very important. We try to limit all classroom interruptions to facilitate the productive use of classroom time. 

Students are tested to monitor their progress throughout the school year. Some testing is informal, and some is formal and mandated by the state. All children at Rose Springs Elementary are given reading screenings at the beginning of the school year to help teachers plan effective instruction. Throughout the year reading skills development and fluency is regularly tested using Acadience (formerly Dibels). This system will also be used for math screening and progress monitoring. Our summative assessment at the end of the school year, RISE, is given to grades 3-6.  If you have any questions about the assessments listed, please contact your child’s teacher and they would be happy to clarify.

Please always drive carefully and slowly around the school and be sure everyone wears seat belts. Periodically local police officers will monitor compliance with traffic and safety laws. We use the front parking lot for drop-off and pick-up. Students should only enter or exit vehicles on the curbside. NEVER PARK OR LEAVE YOUR CAR UNATTENDED IN THE LOADING ZONE. In order to help the flow of traffic, all cars entering the North parking lot must enter and exit from the North side of Insbrook. All cars entering the front drive of the school, must enter and exit from the South side of Insbrook. This will be strictly enforced during morning/afternoon pick-up/drop-off hours. NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO DRIVE IN OR PARK IN THE BUS LANE/CIRCLE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF OUR BUILDING FOR SAFETY REASONS (INCLUDING PARENTS). Please use sidewalks and crosswalks and never cross between parked cars. Adults should be good role models for the students. Students should only cross the street at the crosswalk zone.  If you would like to pick up your child farther away from the school, please still have your child cross the street at a crosswalk and then walk to your parked car.

Students who are transferring to another school MUST CHECK OUT through the office before leaving. Textbooks, library books, and lunch fees MUST ALL BE CHECKED OFF BEFORE RECORDS ARE TRANSFERRED TO THE NEW SCHOOL. 

Because of the danger to our students, we ask that PARENTS NOT DRIVE VEHICLES ONTO THE PLAYGROUND OR BEHIND THE SCHOOL. Risk Management recommends that vehicles not be on the playground ever including on weekends especially if any child is at play. Please park in the parking lot or in the bus circle when here for after-school activities. For this reason, the chain barrier is in place denying vehicles access to the blacktop area.
