Can't find an open restroom @ paly?

Check with the office to verify what time the restrooms closest to your classroom will be locked in the evening. If your classes end after 9pm, ask in the office about getting a staff restroom key you can use to access locked restrooms.

Animals on campus

There are many wild animals that occasionally cross our campuses, including skunks, squirrels, rats, mice and even the occasional opossum. If a wild or domestic animal enters your classroom and you cannot safely herd it out of the room, contact the office at your campus location to request a custodian come to assist. Remind your students not to touch any wild animal on campus. If necessary, evacuate your classroom while you wait for help.
