School Safety
at
Horace Mann

 

  

 

School Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility!

Please do not park or wait in the NO PARKING-STANDING-STOPPING ZONE on Westview next to the Exit from our Parking Lot. It obstructs the view of drivers leaving the parking lot. Thank you for helping us !

"While education is clearly the number one priority for Horace Mann School and the Springfield Public School District, it is also important to continually review and improve our efforts to maintain a safe environment for our students.

Listed below are a number of features that are in place at Horace Mann to provide the safest of all possible learning environments. Please take time to familiarize yourself with these measures. In addition, we are open to suggestions for improvement."

Ms. Peterson
Principal Horace Mann
