      • Safety Report Current Concerns:
        • The main concern is not having a fence around our playground. Our playground is next to a park, and it would be nice to have a separation between the playground and the park. This will help the recess staff in supervising the large space.
        • Increasing presence of the SRO. The SRO does a great job, but is not at our school most of the time due to them covering so many buildings.
        • The office staff has voiced concerns that the main door to the office is not secure like the others. 
        • Pickup and dropoff continues to be a concern for our community. This is addressed in our Safe Walking Routes plan.
