Responsible Pet Policy – Unfortunately for many of our students, the neighborhood pet owners are not picking up after their pets and students are stepping in piles of dog poop. It makes for a very bad day for students and for the clean up crew. We respectfully ask our community to pick up after their dogs and communicate that to their neighbors.
