Parking and Student Safety
The safety of every child is the most important concern of the Sandburg staff. The school parking lot is reserved for Sandburg staff and SDUSD employees. There are also a limited number of disabled spaces available. During dismissal, parents are not allowed to park in the school lot unless they have a valid disables placard and only if there is a parking space available. Please utilize the Traffic Circle in the staff parking lot for morning drop off. It is run by volunteers and open for your convenience from 7:15-7:45am daily.
Traffic Issues
To report a recurring traffic problem in front of the school please call San Diego Police Department Traffic Division 619-531-2000 and provide as much information as possible, including specific date and time and vehicle make/model/color/license.
Parking in the Handicap Area
Do not park in front of the handicap access area. Please help us keep this area clear. To report abusers, call the San Diego Police at 619-531-2000 (non-emergency number) and provide as many details as you can, such as license plate number, vehicle make/model and color, date and time. Thank you for your continued help.
Except for school teachers and staff, there is no on-campus parking at Sandburg Elementary. Please park on the streets surrounding the campus and walk to meet your children.
Emergency Preparedness
Our school has a Crisis Response Box that includes a comprehensive school safety plan. Required by the state, the plan includes policies and procedures for responding to:
- Disasters such as fire, earthquake, or situations requiring a lock down.
- Serious disciplinary problems.
- Child abuse.
- Sexual harassment.
Practice drills are held monthly to ensure that students will be safe in the event of a disaster.
Adult supervision is provided in classrooms and in outside areas before and after school, during recess and lunch, and during passing time between classes. Under the direction of the principal or site administrator, specific school building security procedures are implemented by staff. In addition, district offices support schools by reviewing and disseminating safety requirements and information, coordinating safety-related services, and providing training and assistance.
All visitors must report to the main office and secure a pass, which is to be worn while on campus. To pick up a child from school, an individual must be an adult listed on the student's enrollment card and able to prove his/her identity with a picture ID.
