Pets at School

If a child wishes to have a pet visit their classroom they must secure the permission of the classroom teacher and the principal. It is preferred that pets are to be cased or leashed during their visit, that the parent of the child bringing the pet be present throughout the visit and that the pet be taken home after the visit. If any child in a classroom is allergic to pets, pets will not be allowed to visit.

It is prohibited to have dogs on school grounds at arrival times, during school hours and at dismissal. Please do not bring the family dog (or puppy) to school when you walk your child to school. With the number of children at arrival and dismissal times this can be a potentially dangerous situation. Even well behaved pets can become nervous around this extreme amount of activity, as well as some children are frightened or allergic to dogs. We appreciate your cooperation.
