Safe Routes Survey - Parent Input
It’s data collection time again for Beaverton’s Safe Routes to School program. The purpose of this program is to make walking and biking to school safe, convenient, and fun.
Parents’ and guardians’ input into how students travel to and from schools and their impression of the safety of the route is valuable as the city and county prioritize needed improvements for our roads.
The following links will take you to a district survey and will be combined with classroom tallies to give us a good picture of how students get to and from schools throughout the district.
The district survey will be open for responses for approximately four weeks from May 1st until May 31st. We appreciate your assistance providing us information to make the Safe Routes to School program effective for all Beaverton School District students.
Beaverton Rutas Seguras a la Escuela: Encuestas para Padres
Es hora de recopilar datos nuevamente para el programa Rutas Seguras a la Escuela de Beaverton. El propósito de este programa es hacer que caminar y andar en bicicleta a la escuela sea seguro, conveniente y divertido.
La opinión de los padres y tutores legales sobre cómo viajan los estudiantes hacia y desde las escuelas y su impresión de la seguridad de la ruta es valiosa ya que la ciudad y el condado priorizan las mejoras necesarias para nuestras carreteras.
Los siguientes enlaces lo llevarán a una encuesta del distrito y se combinarán con los recuentos del salón de clases para darnos una buena idea de cómo los estudiantes van y vienen de las escuelas de todo el distrito.
La encuesta del distrito estará abierta para recibir respuestas por cuatro semanas desde el 1 de mayo hasta el 31 de mayo. Agradecemos su ayuda en brindarnos información para hacer que el programa de Rutas Seguras a la Escuela sea efectivo para todos los estudiantes del Distrito Escolar de Beaverton.

Lower Parking Lot Safety
Parents & Caregivers,
If you are picking up your child in the car pick up lane you must drive to the pick up area that is past the 2nd crosswalk (Note the pink star on the map). Students should not be encouraged to wait at the east end of the lot as there is not supervision and it is not safe. All students for car pick up need to be at the far west end of the lot on the other side of the crosswalk. Thank You!
Sparky's Steps to Safety
Sparky invites you to show our community that a safe crossing is the best crossing. Follow the footprints to designated street corners and avoid crossing midblock. Teach others how to stay safe while walking to and from school.
