We want to remind you of the importance of bike, scooter, and crosswalk safety. We have observed some dangerous behavior in our parking lots, sidewalks and streets near our school. Please take a moment to review the following guidelines with your children:
Bike and Scooter Safety:
Helmets are Mandatory: Always wear a properly fitted helmet when riding a bike or scooter. Helmets can significantly reduce the risk of head injuries.
Ride Responsibly: Follow traffic rules and ride on designated bike paths or sidewalks. Avoid riding on busy streets.
Check Your Brakes: Ensure that your bike or scooter has working brakes before riding.
Be Visible: Wear bright clothing, especially during low-light conditions. Consider using reflective gear or lights.
Crosswalk Safety:
Stop, Look, Listen: Before crossing the street, stop at the curb, look left, right, and left again for traffic, and listen for any approaching vehicles.
Use Designated Crosswalks: Always use designated crosswalks or pedestrian bridges.
Wait for the Signal: If there's a pedestrian signal, wait for the "WALK" sign before crossing.
By following these safety tips, we can help ensure that your children have a safe and enjoyable school year.
