RECESS RULES

Introduction:

Welcome to recess, the best part of our school day! Recess is a time to have fun, play games, and relax. To ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable time, we have established some important rules that everyone must follow.

Purpose:

The purpose of these rules is to create a safe, enjoyable, and inclusive environment for all students during recess. By adhering to these guidelines, we can ensure that recess remains a positive experience for everyone.

Scope:

These rules apply to all students during recess time on the playground, sports fields, and any other designated recess areas. All students, teachers, and supervisors are expected to understand and uphold these rules.

Rules:

   • Clearly marked boundaries will help you know where you can and cannot go.

2. Play Safely:

   • Use playground equipment properly and safely. Slides are for sliding down, swings are for swinging, and climbing structures are for climbing.

   • Avoid rough play, pushing, or shoving. Respect everyone’s right to a safe play environment.

4. Follow Instructions:

   • Take care of playground equipment. Report any damage or safety concerns to a teacher or supervisor promptly.

6. Return on Time:

   • When recess is over, line up quickly and quietly when the bell rings or when instructed by a teacher.

   • Return to your classroom promptly and in an orderly manner. Transitioning smoothly helps keep the day on track.

Evaluation Process:

Teachers and recess supervisors will actively monitor student behavior during recess. Positive behavior will be acknowledged and celebrated. Any violations of the rules will be addressed promptly and appropriately to maintain a safe and positive environment.

Conclusion:

By following these rules, we can all enjoy a fun, safe, and respectful recess. Let’s make the most of our playtime together, fostering a community of kindness, safety, and respect. Thank you for your cooperation and enthusiasm!
