We have noticed an increase in students riding e-bikes to and from campus. While we love seeing our students use active transportation to commute to school responsibly, we need your help ensuring everyone stays safe.
First, a quick reminder regarding campus boundaries: e-bikes are strictly prohibited on or next to the athletic fields at all times.
To keep our riders and pedestrians safe, please review these essential e-bike safety practices with your child:
- Wear a helmet: It must fit snugly and sit level just above the eyebrows.
- Stay off sidewalks and fields: Stick to designated bike lanes and roads, and always slow down near pedestrians, cars, turns, and wet surfaces.
- Stay focused: Avoid looking at phones or wearing earbuds while riding.
- Follow traffic laws: Ride in the same direction as traffic and stop completely at all red lights and stop signs.
- One rider only: E-bikes are not built to carry passengers safely.
- Do the “ABC Check”: Check the Air, Brakes, and Chain before every ride.
Working together to ensure our students arrive and depart campus safely is a top priority for our school community. Thank you for your partnership and support.
