Our school insurance provider has advised us that our blue climbing structure is not designed for 3, 4 and 5 year olds and Kindergarten aged students are not allowed to play on it. As a result, staff members are obligated to keep students from this age group from playing on this structure.  When Empire staff are supervising, they may not allow children from this age group to use the blue structure.  Please respect our safety obligations.

Please be aware that supervision on the schoolyard begins at 9:05, 15 minutes prior to entry.  Children are not encouraged to arrive earlier since our yard isn’t supervised. At the end of the day children will be asked to leave the school grounds and go directly home or to a caregiver. With permission from home, they may return later to play on the grounds. The after school supervision ends at 3:55 pm. Any students still not picked up at that time are brought into the office so that we can assist in contacting parents and getting students home safely.
