Walking to School Has Many Benefits!
• Helps children practice problem solving and decision making.
• Gives children time to interact with nature.
• Provides some social time and can help build friendships.
• Helps children practice road and traffic safety skills.
• Helps decrease stress and anxiety and increase concentration at school.
• Gives parents and caregivers a chance to talk and connect with children on the way to school.
• Improves road safety near schools with less traffic and less air pollution in the school area.
Families Driving Students to School: A reminder to obey City road signage for safe places to be stopping for drop off/pick up. We want to ensure that sightlines are maintained. Parking three to four blocks away from the school will allow families to get some of the benefits of walking to school as well- even when it’s a short distance.
Battery Recycling: If you have any batteries to recycle at home, please send them in with your student/s.
Label Clothing – As we transition from cold winter temperatures to early spring-like temperatures, please ensure your child’s clothing is clearly labeled. Gloves, hats, and sweaters are often removed during recess and forgotten outside, causing our lost and found to grow once again!
