Bicycle Riders- Safety Rules & Reminders

Bicycles/Skateboards/Rollerblades/Scooters/Rollershoes To enhance student safety to and from school, we recommend that only students in grades 4-6 ride their bicycles to school. Wearing bicycle helmets is encouraged. Bicycles should walked on school property and parked in the bike racks. The school district is not responsible for students riding bicycles to and from school and assumes no responsibility for bicycles on the school grounds. Bicycle locks are encouraged. Damage or theft of bicycles should be reported to the local police department. The bike-riding privilege may be revoked if a student does not abide by the school guidelines and/or causes safety concerns. Skateboards, scooters, rollershoes, and rollerblades are not allowed on school property.
