- We protect all children in our school with a secure keypad entry, and all visitors are identified at the reception desk. Our playgrounds were updated in the summer of 2012 with new safe and height regulated climbers, bike paths and a softer pour and play turf to help cushion falls while students play outdoors on our toddler and preschool/school age playgrounds. The majority of our staff have been certified in CPR and First Aid and are ready to assist children in time of need.
