Safety rules in the playground: Dear Parents  This is a reminder of our school's policy in regards to children being picked up by adults other than their parents. Parents must call and inform the front office in the event that another adult will be picking up their child. The name of the person must be told to the front office and then the front office will pass the information on to your child's teacher. Parents are not allowed to take any child/children other than their own child/children out of the school unless the process stated above is followed. Please remember that the school is responsible for your child's safety and well being from the time they are dropped off in the morning until they are picked up by their parents (or a designated adult) at the end of the day. Ascot's teachers and administrators take this responsibility very seriously and as such ask that you support us by following this policy.  Thanks for your support.
