The development around our school continues at a break-neck pace. With it comes additional logistic and safety issues to consider—none more pressing than the exposed canal right near our walking routes.
At the Armstrong in Action assembly this week, Officer Wright from the WVPD visited with our students about the canal. We’ve asked students to never go beyond the sidewalk near the canal to the east of the school and to avoid the canal behind the newly built apartments altogether (as seen above). We have also emphasized that our 5th and 6th graders model this for the younger students.
Please have a similar conversation with your students at home. Help establish the expectation that the students remain on the sidewalks and stay away from the canal.
