Dear Parents,
October 9-13 is GREEN RIBBON Week, which focuses on safety awareness. Each day, we will be focusing on a different area of safety. We also will have some different activities and prize drawings for those participating. The students should have come home with a student and driver safety pledge. It comes with a green ribbon attached to it, which your child can tie onto their backpack or bike. Please read through the safety suggestions on the flier and have your child sign and return it. Each student who returns their signed pledge will be entered into a drawing for a new bicycle helmet! Each day has a different theme:
- Monday, October 9 – Safety Focus: Stranger Danger and Playground Safety.
- Be a Team Player in safety – Wear Sports Attire
- Tuesday, October 10 – Safety Focus: Pedestrian Safety and Safe Walking Routes.
- Be Bright, Be Safe – Wear Bright or Neon Colors
- Wednesday, October 11 – Safety Focus: Seatbelts, Car Seats and Bike Helmets.
- Don’t Be Crazy, Be Proactive about your Safety - Crazy Hair Day
- Thursday, October 12 - Safety Focus: Home and Fire Safety and Emergency Preparedness
- Sock it to Safety – Wear Crazy Socks
- Friday, October 13 - Safety Focus: Internet Safety
- Don’t get sleepy about your Safety – Pajama Day
Also, Walk to School day is Tuesday, October 10. All students walking to school that morning will receive a small prize. Remember to use safe walking routes and cross the street with the crossing guard.
At Hayden Peak, safety is a priority. Please discuss the safety topics above with your children. Please follow all traffic rules around the school and always use crosswalks and sidewalks.
Pick-up and Drop-Off Reminders
Also, just a friendly reminder that the drop off lane in front of the school is intended for a quick exit from the passenger side of the vehicle. We have an aide helping to direct the flow of traffic. Please pull as far forward as possible before letting your child exit the car. If your child needs help getting out of the car or any other reason then please park in the parking lot and help your child safely get to the crossing guard. The parking lot is not meant to be an additional drop off zone.
Thank you for your participation in helping keep our students safe!
