As Winter ends and Spring begins, there has been an increase in pedestrian traffic before and after school. With more students walking and crossing Mechanic Street, Loud Street, and the parking lots of school, we want to take a moment to remind everyone of the importance of traffic safety in our school zone.
Please be mindful of the following:
-SLOW DOWN when entering the school zone. The speed limit is 20 MPH.
-YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS. Students may not always look both ways.
-AVOID DISTRACTIONS such as cell phones while driving through school areas.
-DO NOT PASS STOPPED BUSES with flashing red lights—it is both dangerous and illegal.
-DO NOT PASS VEHICLES ON THE RIGHT OR LEFT. That vehicle may be allowing a pedestrian to cross.
Our goal is to ensure every student arrives at and leaves school safely each day. Your cooperation and attention to these safety practices make a significant difference.
Thank you for helping keep our school community safe.
