Playground Etiquette and Safety Reminder

Good afternoon OLM Parents,

We would like to take a moment to remind all students about the importance of safe and respectful playground behaviour.

Our playground is a place for students to enjoy themselves, play with their friends, and get some exercise. To help ensure that everyone remains safe, students are expected to follow our playground expectations at all times.

Please remind your children that the following behaviours are not permitted:

  • Wrestling or play fighting
  • Rough or physical play that could result in someone getting hurt
  • Throwing woodchips, pine cones, rocks, or other objects
  • Pushing, shoving, tackling, or intentionally knocking other students down
  • Playing with or throwing balls in or around the staff parking lot or the play structure area. Balls are not permitted in these areas at any time.
  • Any other behaviour that could put themselves or another student at risk

If you would like to review the playground rules with your children, they are posted along the fence for students and families to see.

While we understand that children are energetic and enjoy active play, it is important that they understand the difference between appropriate play and behaviour that may cause injury or make another student feel unsafe.

Staff will continue to monitor the playground and address unsafe behaviour when it occurs. We appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations at home so that we can maintain a safe, respectful, and enjoyable environment for all students.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
