Allergies
A friendly reminder that SGE is an allergy aware school. We have allergies at school for “peanut/nut/pistachios/cashews, eggs, fish including shellfish, legumes, lentils and scent-aware” school.
Please be mindful of the food you are bringing into the building and what it contains.
St. George’s Elementary is a scent-free learning and teaching space. We would like to remind everyone that we have staff and students at St. George's Elementary who have very severe allergies to scented products, which could be fatal to these individuals should they be exposed to scented products. We are asking everyone to please ensure that your children are not wearing scented products when they come to school, nor are they bringing scented products with them. We ask the same of any visitors to our building. These could prove to be very serious or even fatal for these individuals. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
School Parking Lot and Grounds
Please take extra caution when driving on and around our school grounds. If you are dropping off or picking up your child at anytime, we do ask that you park in the DESIGNATED PARKING SPOTS ONLY. We are asking that you NOT park on crosswalks or in the traffic lanes. We do appreciate your cooperation in keeping all of our students safe.
