Hi parents. I want to remind you of the importance of using the crosswalks when walking to and from school with your child. I have noticed an increase in the number of parents cutting through the parking lot to go between their cars and the school building. I have also seen parents jay-walking across Vine Street. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of using the crosswalks when coming to and leaving school. As adults, we need to model best practices for our children. If they are allowed to short cut through traffic when they are with you, they will learn that it is okay to do that when they are not with you. Please take the extra time and effort to reinforce this important safety habit with your child.
Earlier in the year, I sent out a newsletter with some parking lot safety tips. I have attached it to this e-mail for your review. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
