It is important that you review with your children the safety considerations they should adhere to while they walk to and from school.
Here are a few basic safety tips to follow:
- Never go anywhere with a stranger
- Never talk to strangers
- Mind all traffic signals and/or the crossing guard - never cross the street against a light, even if you don’t see any traffic coming
- Walk with a buddy
- Wear reflective material...it makes you more visible to street traffic
- Be respectful of the private properties along the walk routes
Parents are asked not to request that children be excused early except when an emergency makes early dismissal necessary. Parents are required to come to the main office to pick up their child. At no time may a child go home with anyone other than a parent or someone specifically designated by the parent.
We thank you again for helping to secure a safe school campus for the students, staff, and parents.
