The school's main playground consists of a large joint-use grass field with a softball/baseball dugout, and a blacktop playground with 2 padded playscapes, basketball, tetherball, and 4 square areas. The UTK and kindergarten playground includes a swingset, padded playscape, sandbox, and tricycle track. There is an additional city playground west of our building that is not accessible during the school day. For safety and supervision, students should remain within the designated play area and follow playground rules. Students are allowed to choose their preferred activity during recess and all recess times are well supervised by school staff.
