Children should be encouraged to practice good safety habits. Safety instruction is given at school and safety measures are practiced in the building and on the playground. You can help your child develop good safety habits by providing safety instruction at home.

  • Enter and exit the school through the front gates outside the office or by the Kindergarten playground only. FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL OUR STUDENTS, PLEASE DO NOT DROP OR PICK UP YOUR CHILD ACROSS THE STREET ON LIVE OAK AVENUE. Parents and students are asked not to walk through the south Parking Lot used mainly by teachers and preschool parents. Please help us to keep our children safe and appropriately supervised.
  • Assist your child in learning the safest route to and from school.
  • Encourage your child to use the crosswalk at the intersections when he/she is crossing the street and to stay between the crosswalk lines. Students MUST obey the crossing guards located at the corners of Live Oak and Randall and Live Oak and Manzanita and Live Oak and San Bernardino. It is the child’s responsibility to make certain that traffic from both directions has stopped when crossing at the corner of Live Oak and Sequoia.
  • Your child should obey traffic lights and look both ways before crossing a street.
  • Encourage your child to come home immediately after school. Discourage any stops along the way to and from school. Some children, suddenly, decide to go to a friend’s house after school, without the parents’ knowledge. This creates and unnecessary concern where school police and sheriff department may be called to assist in finding the student.
  • Kindergarten: For those kindergarten children riding a bus it is important that a name tag be attached to the child’s clothing at least for the first 4 days of school.
  • Bus riders must obey all bus rules and follow all rules and expectations at the bus stop.
  • All students should memorize their home phone numbers and parents’ cell phone numbers.

 Remind your child to:

  • Never accept rides or gifts from strangers. Do not assist a stranger in finding a lost dog or animal. Do not go with them, follow them or get in their car.
  • Report to a teacher, a police officer, a bus driver, or to you any suspicious activity or strangers seen loitering on foot or in a car near the school, playgrounds, etc.
  • Always try to secure the license number of the car and write it down.
  • Always try to remember what the stranger looked like and how he/she was dressed.
  • Contact a police officer any time needs help.
