We hope you find the following reminders helpful:听
Traffic Safety
As you know, for the next couple of weeks, there will be heavier than usual traffic in and around our campuses. Please remember to leave plenty of time for drop-offs and pick-ups, drive slowly and watch for students walking, biking, crossing streets, and in parking lots.
听
Once in the school parking lot, please follow all traffic signs and directions from principals and school staff. Also, below are safety tips from the Irvine Police Department (IPD).
听
IPD Traffic Safety Tips:
Leave early. You won鈥檛 have to rush if you plan for a little extra time.
Obey all traffic, bike and pedestrian laws and signs, especially in school zones.
When biking or skating wear a proper fitting helmet.
Drop children off at the designated locations. Do not allow children to get out of the car in the middle of the street.
Remember that everyone has the same goal of getting their children to school safely, so be patient with other drivers and pedestrians.
Always obey crossing guards.
Always use crosswalks.
Do not engage in distracted driving. This is especially dangerous in school zones.
IPD traffic officers patrol the streets near schools to ensure safety. Remember to slow down and make complete stops at stop signs.
Additional Traffic & E-Bike Safety
Mandatory E-Vehicle Safety and Registration Program:
To help support the safe and responsible use of e-vehicles (e-bikes, e-scooters and e-skateboards), 澳门开奖网 middle and high schools have partnered with the Irvine Police Department (IPD) and will host safety presentations as part of 滨鲍厂顿鈥檚 mandatory e-Vehicle Registration Program.听
听
Middle and high school students who travel to and from school using an electric vehicle are required to attend one of the e-Vehicle Safety Presentations by IPD. Click here to learn more. If your student is unable to participate in one of the five established presentations, contact their school directly for make-up options.听听
