As warm weather arrives, more students will be walking to and from school. It’s crucial to prioritize safety while commuting. Please follow these guidelines at crosswalks and school zones:
- Wait for the crossing guard’s signal before proceeding.
- Always stop when the crossing guard is in the crosswalk.
- Do not park or stop in a crosswalk.
- Never pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk; a pedestrian may be crossing.
- Always follow posted speed limits in school zones.
- Be patient during busy school hours; allow extra time when dropping off or picking up students.
- Watch for children throughout the day, as they can be unpredictable.
- Never text and drive.
By adhering to these safety practices, we can ensure a safe end to the school year. Let’s make safety a priority every time we’re on the road!
