Please follow the directions, linked HERE, in order for your student to ride their e-bike or e-scooter to school. If your student has a permit from last year, they still need to renew it for the 2026-27 school year!

Friendly reminder for all scooter and bike riders: Please put your bike or scooter on the bike rack. We have lots of students forgetting our bike and scooter rules.
