Dear Parents,
We are excited for Bike + Walk to School Day Friday, August 30th! We hope this map will help you and your child identify the safest route to school, taking note of where sidewalks are available and where the crossing guards are located.

Your child should circle or color where the crossing guards, your house and Boone are located on the map. Then, please help your child draw the safest route to school. As you do, you can talk about other things to watch out for such as alley crossings, streets with and without four-way stop signs, areas where they might need to walk their bike such as crowded sidewalks, etc.

NEW! Recommended for Durham Bikers & Walkers at Dismissal: Upon leaving the school, bikers should walk their bikes along all sidewalks that are congested with pedestrian traffic. Specifically, bikers should walk their bikes on the sidewalk on Durham between Wentwood and Centenary.

Be sure to discuss the Safety Review Q&A with your child. We will also be showing them Bike Safety videos this week at school. We hope that Friday you will join your child on a bike or walk to school so you can practice all they’ve learned together!

​

Thanks!
