Free Helmet Giveaway for Gilbert Community
The Gilbert Parks and Recreation Foundation, supported by community donations and grants from Dignity Health, is offering free helmets! They have approximately 300 helmets available in various styles, sizes, and colors.
These helmets can be picked up at one of five locations in Gilbert, AZ, during normal operating hours, while supplies last at the following locations:
- Freeride Bike Co., 3143 E Williams Field Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85295
- Global Bikes & E-Bikes , 835 N Gilbert Rd, #111, Gilbert, AZ 85234
- Bike Masters, 2244 E Williams Field Rd #101, Gilbert, AZ 85295
- Pedego Electric Bikes, 459 N Gilbert Rd, Unit 1, Gilbert, AZ 85234
- NControl Driving School, 1663 E Ray Rd #103, Gilbert, AZ 85296
To receive a helmet, parents simply sign a waiver at the pickup location. This initiative responds to the increasing number of motor vehicle collisions involving people riding bicycles, e-scooters, and e-bikes, who are especially vulnerable on our roads. We encourage riders to wear a properly secured helmet and remind drivers to be extra cautious and reduce their speed, especially in areas with people walking and bicycling. Please talk to the kids and teens in your life about the importance of helmet-wearing, paying attention, and following traffic laws. Let’s work together to make our streets safer for everyone!
Starting immediately, it is now required that children have a parent sign them in when they arrive tardy or return to school after being signed out. Additionally, students will not be able to be signed out after 2:15 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and after 1:15 pm on Wednesdays. These changes are in place to prevent disruptions during dismissal time and allow our front office staff to focus on safely coordinating students' transportation at the end of the day. Any end-of-the-day sign-outs must now be completed before the specified times. Thank you for your cooperation with this!
Gilbert Public Schools Governing Board approved that in November 2024, voters living within Gilbert Public School boundaries will decide on a proposed 15% budget override continuation. This would be a continuation of the budget override approved by voters in November 2019 and in place since 2020/21 school year, generating approximately $36 million annually to:
- ensure competitive salaries to recruit and retain high-quality teachers and staff in classrooms,
- maintain programmatic choices for students creating future ready graduates,
- maintain campus safety and security personnel and,
- maintain class sizes with allocation to class size reduction.
