McNear Elementary School, Sunnyslope Avenue, Petaluma, CA, USA
Flyer and Permission Slip for The Bike Rodeo Included Below
On Friday, April 19th, all TK - 6th grade McNear students will have an opportunity to participate in a Bicycle Rodeo. Students, with guided instruction from Safe Routes to School educators, will practice, demonstrate, and learn how to improve their bicycling skills under varying conditions. Students will gain understanding of traffic signs and the rules of the road, will improve their skills, and will learn how to ride their bikes safely.
Your child should bring (or ride) a working bicycle and helmet that fits to school that day. Mechanics from a local bicycle shop will be on site to do safety inspections and minor adjustments, as needed.
If your child does not have a bicycle helmet, you may purchase a helmet from the Safe Routes to School program for $5.00. If your child will NOT be able to bring a bicycle to school, but you would like your child to participate, please check the space at the bottom of your signed permission slip. A limited number of loaner bikes will be available.
All students must have this permission slip signed by a responsible adult before participating. Parents of kids in grades TK – 3 are required to stay with their children. Aftercare students must turn in this permission slip to Aftercare staff before the rodeo to participate.
Thank you. We look forward to teaching your child, and all McNear TK – 6th grade students, how to be safe and confident bicycle riders!
