September 2nd-5th is our annual Bike Safety Week, where students will learn about bike and pedestrian safety and watch safety videos in class. They’ll also bring home a map to help plan the safest route to school. Please review it with them!

Friday, September 5th: "Bike" to School Day for Bike Rodeo!

 

For the first time, we have moved our Bike Rodeo (traditionally a spring event) to coincide with Bike Safety Week! 

 

To culminate Bike Safety Week, on Friday September 5th, students and families are invited to ride bikes, scooters, or walk together to school (or parents can drop bikes off on the Wentwood side). There will be signs - organized by grade, with teacher names on them - to indicate where you or your child can park their transportation of choice. 

 

Every student will need a bike or scooter brought to school in order to participate in the Bike Rodeo during their class's designated time during the school day.

 

This is a fun event for the kids - please do not stress! Have your kids ride what they are most comfortable riding. Training wheels are ok! Students must wear helmets, and no e-bikes are allowed. 

New this year! New Course for Bike Rodeo

 

In addition to the Bike Rodeo's new date this year, we are excited to reveal a new course! To make way for the new course, Bike Rodeo chairs worked extra hard over the summer to obtain all necessary signatures for a permit from the City of Dallas to block off Wentwood between Boedecker and Durham. We will also have police cars stationed at each intersection, a police officer, along with an extra crossing guard at Wentwood and Durham during the event. This will ensure that students are able to get their bikes or scooters safely to the new course.

 

Parents are invited to join for this fun event! The schedule for individual classes is below.
