Key Findings

  • Over 20 mouse droppings were observed scattered on shelves and floor in a Pre-K storage closet; manager instructed to call an exterminator and sanitize affected areas.
  • No soap was available in the first floor boys washroom for handwashing.
  • A 1/4-inch gap under an exit door was found, allowing potential pest entry; manager instructed to seal the opening.
  • Previous violations from August 2023 remain uncorrected, including missing garbage cans with lids in staff bathrooms and damaged walls and floor tiles in the kitchen and lunchroom areas.
