A safe arrival program is in place at the school. Parents are encouraged to call the school to report a child's absence. Parents are invited to leave their message on the machine. If parents do not call the school, school staff call the homes of children who are absent. Students are not permitted to leave school during school hours unless they have a dated and signed permission from their parents, or the parents come to get them.
Emergency procedures are in place and outlined in the family handbook.
