Family Safety Reminder
At Sabal Palm, the safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. To help us maintain a secure environment, please keep the following procedures in mind when visiting our campus:
Bring your photo ID – All visitors must present a valid ID to enter the building. No pictures of your ID will be accepted.
Front Office Greeting – When you arrive, you will be greeted by our staff and asked how we can assist you.
ID Verification Before Entry – You will be asked to show your ID to the front office camera before being buzzed inside.
Plan Ahead – Please allow extra time when visiting, especially for campus-wide events, as ID checks may take longer with a higher volume of visitors.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation and partnership in keeping our Flamingo Family safe and secure. 💗🦩

📚 How the Parent Playbook is Different from the Monthly Parent Newsletter
We now have two ways to keep you connected — each with a different purpose:
Parent Playbook
- Quick-reference guide for the next two weeks
- Bulleted, easy to scan, focused on logistics and key reminders
- Perfect for daily planning and “at-a-glance” info you need right now
- Sent every one-two weeks
Monthly Parent Newsletter
- Deeper dive into school culture, student/staff highlights, and big-picture updates
- More photos, stories, and celebrations
- Explains the “why” behind our programs and initiatives
- Sent once a month
💡 How We’ll Use Them Together
Think of the Parent Newsletter as your magazine — full of stories and inspiration — and the Parent Playbook as your game plan — your cheat sheet for the next one-two weeks. Together, they’ll make sure you never miss an important detail and always feel connected to the heart of Team Sabal.
