Any students walking to and from school who need to cross Greenwood Street should cross at the designated crossing area on the Northside of the building under the supervision of the crossing guard.

While walking to and from the building, students should stay on the building side of the double yellow lines. If entering the school, students should use the main door entrance. Students who live to the south of the school AND on the west side of Greenwood Street should use the crosswalk near the bus loop.

At dismissal, walkers will exit through the NORTH door near the bike racks. Parents should meet their walkers at the NORTH exit, then cross at the NORTH exit crosswalk.

Students whose parents choose to park in the lot at arrival and dismissal are considered walkers. These students should be escorted by their parents to and from the NORTH side of the building.

One exception to this is the students who live south of the school and west of Greenwood Street. Those students will be dismissed with the bus riders on the south side of the building and should use the crosswalk near the bus loop.

Please exercise parental discretion about letting your children ride their bicycles to school. Carefully consider if your children are mature enough to exercise good judgment and if they have the physical skills needed to handle a bicycle safely.

• All bike riders must wear helmets.
  
  
• Bike racks are located immediately outside the North door. Bike riders must stop riding when they reach school property and walk their bikes to the bike racks. When going home students will walk their bikes until they are off school grounds and through all crosswalks.
  
  
• Bike riders are dismissed with walkers on the Northside of the school. Please remind your children to yield to pedestrians.
  
  
• It is recommended that parents accompany students of all ages on a "practice ride" to and from school to make sure they understand the rules.
  
  
• Bicycles are the responsibility of the owner. Bicycles should be locked. Record the serial number of the bicycle and keep it in a safe place at home.
  
  
• Skateboards, rollerblades and scooters, etc. may not be ridden on school property and we have no way of securing the items for students.
