Safety After School

Dear Kinder Parents/Guardians,

The kids love to play on the structure after school and as long as they are following appropriate playground rules this is not a problem. However, there have been many times where teachers have had to tell children not to climb on the slides, jump off the equipment, or have more than one person going down a slide.  Below are the rules for safely using the play structure. We kindly ask that you adhere to them and monitor your children while using it after school hours.

Thank you for helping us keep a safe school environment!

1. The slides are for going down. Please refrain from climbing up the slides or hanging from the edge.
2. One person at a time on the slides.
3. No jumping off the high parts of the playground. Please use the stairs or slides to exit off the equipment.
4. Hands to ourselves at all times!
