Bike Riding and Traffic Safety

Please be careful

Now that students are back in school, drop off and pick up are the busiest times of the day. Since the weather is so beautiful, many students are opting to ride their bicycles or walk to school. If your student is riding to school, please make sure that they understand how to ride safely. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Riding carefully and watching out for pedestrians and cars

• Walking their bike while on school property

• Locking up their bike on one of the two bike racks

• When crossing a street, please wait for the light to tell you to go. If there is not light, use the crosswalk or cross only at a corner--not in the middle of a block.

If you are dropping your child off in their designated parking lot, please follow all safety rules. These include, but are not limited to:

• Driving 15 miles per hour in the parking lot

• Following all traffic rules

• Noticing if there are people in or near the crosswalk and yielding to them

• Pull up as far as you can to drop your student(s) off to allow cars behind you to pull up to drop off their children

• Keeping safety in mind at all times

• If you need to park to visit the office, please use the crosswalks when walking across the parking lot

Our motto is “Safety First!” Thank you for your efforts to keep our parking lots and the streets surrounding our campus safe!
