As a reminder, per SPS District Policy, animals are not allowed on school grounds at any time. Please keep your pet in your car during pick up and drop off times. For both your own legal protection as well as the safety of our students, it is best that dogs be left at home. Even the most well-mannered dog can be triggered by being in close quarters with hundreds of loud children.
