Safety
General Rules of Safety
The following is a list of safety regulations:
- Students and parents should use the marked crosswalk within the safety zone when crossing Park Avenue.
- Parents, according to state law, should load and
unload students on the school side of the street. - Students and drivers should be extra careful, especially near the school zone and at intersections. It is recommended that our students avoid the unlighted crosswalk at Gurley and Summit.
- Parents picking up students on Beach Avenue
north of the school should note it is suggested one-way only. They should be extra cautious. - Students riding bicycles should not enter the street near the bus-loading area. Rather, they should walk their bikes to a safer location or across the crosswalk before entering the street. They should also walk their bikes on the sidewalk in front of the school.
Locked Gates
To better ensure student safety, all but one front and one rear gate are kept locked during the school day. Gates will be opened in time for regular dismissal. If parents/visitors come to our campus during school hours, please plan to use the gates closest to the office entrance. Your patience is appreciated!
Visitor's Check In
Arizona State Law requires all visitors to check in at the office where they will be given a visitor’s badge before going to the grounds or buildings. Badges for both visitors and staff members are an added safety precaution for the benefit of our students.
Signing Out Students
If a student must leave school during school hours or before normal dismissal time, a parent or guardian must come to the office and sign the child out. The office staff will advise the student to meet the parent or guardian in the office. If the student brings a note to the teacher indicating the need to leave school early, the student must check out through the office at the time of departure.
