Be Safe In School Zones This Spring

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!

Celebrating National School Librarian Appreciation Day

Our school libraries are much more than just a place for students to check out books. They are spaces to discover knowledge and adventure, complete homework, explore new interests, and foster creativity and curiosity. All of this is made possible by the dedicated librarians who transform the school library into a welcoming hub at the heart of our schools.

To celebrate National School Librarian Appreciation Day today, we invited several of our wonderful school librarians to share one of their favorite books and explain why they love it.
