Now that we have an awesome upgraded playground, let’s keep it that way! We’ve posted 8 signs around the playground with the rules, so please take a moment to read them (see attachment). We ask everyone using the playground to follow these rules to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for all. If you see someone not following the rules, please address it directly with them or report it to the school office or the police. We especially need your help during non-school hours. Let’s all work together to keep this playground an awesome facility! Thanks for your cooperation!


Reminder from Sheyenne Transportation:
Parents should drop their children off on the north side of the Elementary, not where the buses unload. Thank you!
