Safe Routes to School

Safe Routes to School programs aim to make it safer for students to walk and bike to school and encourage more walking and biking where safety is not a barrier. We are working with community organizations to complete a grant project to connect our junior-senior high school campus to our elementary schools through a safe trail system. We are asking for parent input on this important project. Please complete the survey for Safe Routes to School.
