Traffic Safety

Please help reinforce safety expectations upon drop off and dismissal. When dropping off students before and after school please make sure students are dropped off in a safe zone (not on corners, in red zones, or in the middle of the street).

If your child rides a skateboard or a bicycle to school please ensure that he/she is wearing a helmet.  In addition, please talk to your child about making sure that he/she is visible at all times on corners, at cross-walks and driveways, etc.  Thank you for your support in keeping our children safe!
