| SAFETY BULLETIN: WALKING TO AND FROM SCHOOL |
|
Safety Bulletin: Walking to and from school
Dear Anza Parent and Guardian:
The safety and welfare of our students is always our highest priority at Anza Elementary School. Occasionally we get reports from around the community of students encountering a suspicious person or vehicle when walking to or from school. As the school year winds down, we want to take this opportunity to remind parents to talk to their child about safely walking to and from school.
Here are a few recommendations to share with your kids:
- Walk with a friend or in groups when possible
- Be aware of your surroundings
- Report any suspicious person(s) to an adult immediately
- Pick a route with your child and make sure they stick to it
- Be careful near traffic and obey all traffic laws (cross the street at crosswalks)
Walking is fun, but students need to be safe while doing it. Please remind students to follow these tips to make sure they get to and from school without incident.
Sincerely,
Barbara Marks
Principal
