Dear Parents,
Recently, your student participated in a Street Smarts Traffic Safety Education Presentation, an engaging program that highlights the importance of bike and pedestrian safety at school and in the wider community.
During the assembly, they covered several key safety topics:
Crosswalk Safety
- Always make eye contact with drivers before crossing
- Use designated crosswalks - NEVER jaywalk
- Hold an adult’s hand when crossing
- Look both ways before stepping off the curb
- Stay alert while in the crosswalk
- Do not use cell phones or wear earphones while walking or biking
Bike Safety
-
View Wear a helmet properly - every ride, every time
- Use hand signals when turning or stopping
- Walk bikes across crosswalks
- See attached informational graphic for E-Bike and E-Scooters
School Parking Lot Safety
- Always drop off students from the passenger side, onto the curb
- Never drop off or pick up from a traffic lane
- Follow the flow of traffic when exiting the lot
- Do not leave students unattended in parking areas
We encourage you to continue these conversations at home and reinforce these safety habits. Staying alert, making safe choices, and being predictable to drivers are essential to keeping students safe while walking, biking or during drop-off and pick-up at school.

Thank you for your ongoing support in helping create a safer environment for all students.
