 SAFETY MESSAGE

At the beginning of each school year, we remind our students of the rules that keep them safe coming to school, at school and returning home.  We would appreciate your assistance in talking with your youngsters about being safe. These are the rules we are teaching in order to emphasize safe street-crossing procedures:

• Use safe crossing sites or cross walks when available.

• Use crossing flags when available.

• Do not cross between parked cars.

• Always stop at the edge of the road before crossing.

• Always look in all directions before starting to cross.

• Start crossing when no cars are coming or when cars have stopped.

• Keep looking for traffic when crossing.

• Walk directly across the road.

• Stay focused while crossing the street.

• Follow the directions of the crossing guard.

We are also reminding the children that in the spring and fall, when the sun rises directly in the east and sets directly in the west, it is more difficult for drivers on east-west roads to see children crossing the street.

The school district will have a crossing guard on Center Street in front of the Intermediate Elementary Building. Jesse Posey is  the crossing guard on Main Street.

To lessen traffic congestion at the elementary school in the afternoon, the buses will pick up the high school and middle school students at the high school before coming to the elementary school.

As part of our efforts to keep our children safe, The Kimberly School District and the City of Kimberly are participating in the Safe Routes to School programs.  The purpose of the program is to  examine conditions around schools and conduct projects and activities that work to improve safety and accessibility, and reduce traffic and air pollution in the vicinity of schools. As a result, these programs help make bicycling and walking to school safer and more appealing transportation choices thus encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle from an early age.

If you would like to participate in the implementation of this program, please contact Polly Hulsey at City Hall (423-4151 ext. 16) or Mrs. Jaime Carlton (423-4170 ext. 3149) for further information.

Sincerely yours,

Kathleen Noh
