With the warmer weather, it is wonderful to see so many children active and using bikes or scooters to travel to school. However, we must ask for your cooperation in keeping our school grounds safe and accident-free during the busy drop-off and pick-up times.
Please note the following important rules regarding wheeled transport:
No Riding on School Property: For the safety of toddlers, parents, and staff navigating the busy playground, children must dismount their bicycles and scooters at the school gates. Please remind your children that they must walk their bikes or scooters once they are inside the school grounds.
E-Scooters Are Strictly Prohibited: We would like to remind families that privately owned e-scooters are not permitted on school property under any circumstances. In addition to the legal restrictions regarding their use on public pavements and roads, they pose a significant safety hazard in a crowded school environment.
Thank you for working with us to keep our pathways safe for everyone!
