Walking To and From School

Your child's safety is a major concern of the school district, whether he/she is in school or out of school. It is important children learn to be safe at an early age. Parents should talk to their children about safety measures.

Allow yourself enough time to arrive at school no earlier than 7:20 a.m.
Walk on the sidewalk.
Cross only at intersections protected by adult crossing guards.
Obey the crossing guards.
Refuse to enter or approach strange automobiles.
Proceed directly to school or home before beginning to play.
Be considerate of smaller children.
Be respectful of the neighbors and their property.

Bicycle Safety Rules

All students may ride bicycles to and from school. We strongly recommend that students wear helmets when riding bicycles to and from school. Students are highly discouraged from riding their bicycles to school on icy and snowy days. Upon arrival at school, please make sure that your child has an adequate lock for his/her bike. Bicycles are not to be ridden on the playground, blacktop, or sidewalk. The school is not responsible for bikes that are vandalized or stolen.

If a student is found to be in violation of these rules, a staff member will give the student one warning. A teacher will also communicate this warning to the parents. If a second infraction occurs, the child may not be permitted to ride a bicycle to school for 30 days.

Students riding skateboards, scooters, or roller blades must follow the same rules as those riding bicycles. Skateboards and rollerblades should be stored in a location that will not disrupt learning. Scooters should be locked in the bike racks. Again, we strongly recommend that students wear helmets when riding bicycles, skateboards, scooters or roller blades to and from school.
