We will be looking for permit# and names that match the bicycles, scooters, E-bikes and skateboards. Moving forward there will be consequences for bike permit violations.
​​1st offense: Warning
2nd offense: Student Conference, review of requirements with staff member/administrator and written reflection
3rd offense: Student Conference, parent contact, possible safety class participation (with SRO contact)
4th offense: Student / parent conference with possible loss of bike parking privileges
NOTE: The privilege of parking the bike/scooter/E-bike/skateboard may be suspended or revoked by administration if a student does not obey the above, or other reasonable safety rules and regulations.
