When approached by a Playground Supervisor for breaking a rule, students should be able to identify the poor choice they made and explain how they can make a better choice.
Students will keep their hands, feet and objects to themselves.
We will not play tag or any other game that causes us to put hands on other people.

The following items are not to be brought to school: Toys, dolls, balls, electronics and other non-educational items unless the item is needed for a class activity and a teacher has given written permission.
During breakfast and lunch time, all food and drinks will remain in the cafeteria. There is a small group of well-behaved older students that eat on the stairs near the lunchroom most days.
Students will follow all adult directions.
Students may not play in areas out of sight of the Playground Supervisors. They may never play directly next to classroom windows, or inside the building.
