Safety routines

• Arrival and dismissal

  A teacher is at the front door from 8:00 and again at 3:15. Only the adults on a family's pickup list may collect a student, and we ask to see ID until we know you.

• Visitors

  Every visitor signs in at the office and wears a badge. A teacher walks a visit family to the floor and back.

• Drills

  The school holds fire drills and weather drills through the year, and families are told afterward what the students practiced.

• Allergies

  Tell us about allergies at the visit; we ask privately once you enroll. The office keeps each student's plan, and a copy is kept in the homeroom.

• Illness

  A student with a fever stays home until the next morning. A teacher calls a parent when a student is unwell at school, and the office tells families when something is going around.

• The visiting occupational therapist

  Spends one morning a week at the school, and works alongside the teachers in the room. A family who would like to talk with them asks the head of school.
