Recess, or as they are called now 'Nutrition Breaks' (which take place at odd times throughout the day), takes place in the field behind the school. Unlike old policies, where the primary students could not pass the line in the middle of the yard that separates them from the juniors, students are able to run free and wild (as of approximately 1999). There is one playground, with a large red tube slide. There were two until an older playground was disassembled (ripped down) in approximately 2000-2001 due to a high injury rate. The field also has a 'Naturalized Area", which the students are unable to enter. The Intermediates spend their recesses in Stuart Park, adjacent to the school. The park has a large baseball diamond, a basketball court, and tennis courts. There is an additional playground, however the students are unable to use it. Track and Field takes place in the park.
