We would like to send a friendly reminder to our community about the importance of using and respecting crosswalks.

Crosswalks are there to help keep our students, families, and staff safe as they travel to and from school each day. We ask drivers to please slow down in school zones, stay alert for pedestrians, and always stop for individuals using crosswalks. A few extra seconds of caution can make a big difference in keeping everyone safe.

We also encourage students and families to use designated crosswalks whenever possible and to make eye contact with drivers before crossing.

Our school is proud to be part of such a caring community, and we appreciate everyone doing their part to help keep our children safe.
