Safety

As a student of the Magnet School, it is each child’s responsibility to report unsafe situations immediately to an adult or the office.  Reports will be treated with confidentiality. Careful enforcement of school rules and guidelines as well as a supervised and orderly beginning and end of day routines are all installed to increase student safety.

Bicycles, Rollerblades, Skateboards, Scooters

In traveling to and from school, bicycle safety must be observed including wearing a helmet.  Bicycles must be walked on and off campus.  Campus begins at the stop sign on the corner of staff parking.  Bicycles must be locked to safeguard property.  They may not be stored inside the building!  Loitering at the bicycle racks is not permitted.  Because of the dangerous nature of skateboards, scooters, and roller blades, students are not allowed to use them on school property.  If brought to school, they will be kept in the office.

Parking Lot

For the safety of students coming and going, the school has specific dismissal procedures:

1) Please use the long loop for dismissal pickups.  Students may not be dropped off and picked up in staff parking areas.  If there is not a parking spot available in the small loop area of the Visitors Parking Lot, DO NOT stop to wait at the sidewalk/curb--this is a fire lane and you will be instructed to move.

2) Students must not dart across the parking lot to waiting cars.

3) The Barnette Magnet School is tobacco-free, including the parking lot.  Parents wishing to use tobacco, including e-cigarettes, should do so off school grounds.
