You cannot carry there unless you have permission from the school or school district. Written permission would be the best so you could have proof.

Thanks alot. There is no school district since its a privately owned school. I do not know the owner so I guess no carry for the B-day party. Thanks alot for the quick response

What's the difference in a "DayCare Center" and a "Private Primary School"?
The sign?
The curriculum?
or is Primary the name for Elementary --------like Middle school (which isn't in the middle between Elem and College) used to be Junior High
Do Preppers go to Prep School?
Seems like I was in Kindergarten and graduated to "Junior Primary" (Kindergarten's second semester) prior to the first grade so is "Senior Primary" first grade??
