Allergies
A friendly reminder that St. Kevin's Junior High is an Allergy Aware School. We have allergies at school to peanuts, and shellfish. Also we are a SCENT FREE school .
It is important to be mindful of these allergens as we have individuals in our building who are allergic and can have reactions if they touch a door, table or other surface that was touched by someone who came in contact with a food with one of these items. Please be mindful of the food you are bringing into the building and what it contains. If you eat something with an allergen before you come to school, please wash your hands thoroughly before you come to school. If you notice other individuals with allergic containing foods please inform a staff member. It is important that we are respectful of all students in our school and take every effort to keep our building safe for everyone.
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 near our school gates, on crosswalks or in the traffic lanes. It is very important that we keep the lane of "moving" traffic "moving", and that this is not blocked by parked cars. We do appreciate your cooperation in keeping all of our students safe.
