A Note from the Principal

9/30/2023 8:00 am

You won't want to miss this week's SMORE from Principal Cummings about Walk to School Day, IAR reports and more!

Walk to School Day!

9/30/2023 7:56 am

When: Wednesday, October, 4, 2023

Why walk or ride a bike to school?

- It’s fun! Parents, children and friends can enjoy one another’s company without the usual distractions. Older children can enjoy a sense of responsibility and independence.
- Builds healthy habits. Walking to schools is a chance for children (and adults) to create a fitness regimen out of everyday tasks.
- Cleaner environment. Replacing car trips with walking to school can reduce traffic congestion and air-polluting emissions.

Use this time to remind your children of walk to school safety:

- Mind traffic- Teach your kids about traffic signs and signals and be sure to abide by them yourself.
- Walk or bike in groups.
- Wear a helmet when on a bike.
- Stay within designated pedestrian areas.
- Wear appropriate footwear.
- Be sure to allow enough time.
