The Cossitt playground has unfortunately seen an increase in use and abuse by non-students, during non-school hours, despite locked gates. School officials are working with the Village of LaGrange and LaGrange Police to improve this situation.
We also need your help! If you see inappropriate or suspicious activity on the playground during non-school hours, please call the LaGrange Police at it's non-emergency phone number of 708-579-2333. This will help the Police address and track the issues. Additionally, please advise your kids, friends and neighbors (especially any older children who want to harken back to their Cossitt days), to please respect the property and the gates when locked, and know that the Police will be patrolling the area.
