Dear Spring Creek Families,

I hope you had a safe, restful and happy Fall Break. It was wonderful to welcome students back to school on Wednesday. As a reminder, students should not arrive at school before 8:15 a.m. The school doors are locked and there is no outside supervision at this time. 

I encourage you to review the following OUTSIDE expectations with your student. Following these guidelines ensures student safety.

1. Once students arrive at school, they must remain on school grounds until school ends unless they are checked out through the front office by an approved adult.
2. The front lawn is off limits for recess play. It is used only under direct supervision of teachers.
3. Bikes, skateboards, roller skates, roller blades must be walked on the school grounds. Bikes should be locked in the bike rack while at school.
4. Snowball throwing and sliding on ice are prohibited. 
5. When lining up to board the bus, students must stay safely back on the sidewalk until the bus has come to a complete stop and the bus driver indicates that they are ready for students to board the bus. Places in line may not be saved by other students, backpacks etc. Siblings may line up together.
6. All students are expected to go outside for recess unless there are medical reasons that have been approved through the school nurse. 
7. Rough play leads to injury and anger and is therefore not allowed.

Students who ride the bus are required to ride the bus home unless a parent or guardian has contacted the office and given written approval for the student to walk home. The school resource officer will be called if a student leaves the school who is expected to ride the bus home.
