Additional Reminder

• Per SPS District Policy, animals are not allowed on school grounds at any time. For your legal protection and the safety of all students, please keep pets in your car during drop-off and pick-up times. Even the most well-behaved dogs can be unsettled by the noise and close quarters of many children.
