Please Note - School policy reminders

Do not pass any school bus with flashing lights. For buses at Stratfield School, when a bus is totally within the island, even if their lights are flashing, you MAY pass the bus. BUT if any portion of the bus is NOT within the island, then you may not pass those buses. At this point walkers are being held until all of our buses are loaded.

Drop-off points: Do not get out of your car if you are in the "Kiss and Go" lanes both out front and in back.
You CAN park there at the end of the day for pickup.

All parents/visitors must stop at the office for a pass. Please do not go into classrooms after 8:55 a.m. Any items dropped off for your children must be brought to the office.

Please do not call the office after 3:00 p.m. for changes in dismissal, it is often too busy for the staff to locate classes in time to make a change in dismissal.

For Health and Safety Reasons: We are asking parents to please not bring dogs on school grounds.
