SAFETY REMINDER

Each week a safety reminder is posted here as a request of our School Community Council. These reminders are for students and parents alike. As a school of approximately 610 students, without bussing services, that means we have a large number of students walking to/from the school in addition to MANY vehicles that come to/from our school every day. We cannot express enough the importance of every parent/student following the guidelines for drop off and pick up.

Please review the policy here: https://sunrise.canyonsdistrict.org/parking-lot-and-loading-unloading-procedures/

It is also important to share this information with anyone who may be dropping off/picking up your student. Grandparents, aunts/uncles, older siblings, nanny, etc. are all expected to follow these guidelines. If you have not already shared this information with them, please pass the link on for them to review.

We have staff & safety patrol outside each day watching and doing their best to keep our students safe, but we cannot be everywhere all the time. We need everyone working together, following the rules, to make safety a priority in and around our school.
