Dear St. Serra Parents,

It has been brought to my attention that, at the end of the school day, some of our students are continuing to enter the crosswalks at Antonio and Banderas when it is unsafe to do so. This is extremely concerning to me, as traffic on Antonio is moving at very high speeds. Taking unnecessary risks in crossing these streets could result in an unimaginable tragedy. For the sake of everyone’s safety, you may want to consider escorting your child(ren) from campus to your vehicle, or waiting in the traffic pick up line. I understand that these options can be inconvenient for some parents, but the children’s safety is our number one priority. Children simply do not have the focus and attention span of adults. They are often distracted and unaware of their surroundings, particularly if they are socializing, hurrying, or otherwise engaging their attention. I am asking parents to please partner with us in keeping our students safe by considering these recommendations and making any necessary adjustments to your pick up routine.

Always striving,

Tim Tolzda

Sr. Principal
