Before and After School Supervision
The District provides limited before and after school supervision
of students. Unless accompanied by an adult, students may not be
on campus until 15 minutes prior to the opening of school. Once
school is dismissed, all students not accompanied by an adult are
to leave campus for home and/or childcare no later than 15 minutes
after dismissal. Those who do not comply will be considered defiant.
This is a safety issue.
Bikes, Scooters, Skateboards and Heeleys
If students ride their bikes, scooters, skateboards, skates, or heelys to school, parents must assume the responsibility that they will travel safety to and from school. Riding a bicycle or scooter is a privilege that has responsibilities for the student’s safety and the safety of others. Bikes must be locked in the bike cages with the rider’s own lock to the bike racks, not to other bikes or on the cyclone fences. Bike cages are locked only during school hours. Do not leave your bike overnight or on the weekend. Skateboards, skates, and scooters must be locked in the skate shack. The school cannot assume responsibility for any bike while on school grounds. Bikes, scooters, skateboards, or skates must not be used on campus. Heely wheels must be removed from shoes while on campus. This ordinance is posted on campus and is strictly enforced.
Bike cage expectations include walking bikes into and outside of the cage. Students are expected to walk their bikes on campus and get on/ride their bikes when off campus.
It is the law – you must wear a helmet. Any person eighteen years of age or younger operating a bicycle (or skateboard, etc.) or being carried as a passenger on a bicycle on a public way, bicycle path, or on any other public right-of-way shall wear a helmet. Said helmet shall fit the person's head, shall be secured to the person's head by straps while the bicycle is being operated, and shall meet the standards for helmets established by the American National Standards Institute. Failure to comply with these rules could result in loss of privileges.
Bike Law
As of January, 2003, California law requires all persons under 18 years of age to wear a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet while operating a bicycle as a passenger, operating a non-motorized scooter or skateboard, wearing in-line or roller skates, or while riding upon a non-motorized scooter or skateboard as a passenger.
Bicyclists must ride in the bike lanes provided or ride near the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway. On one-way streets, bicyclists can ride on the left-hand side of the roadway.
Bicyclists MUST OBSERVE THE SAME RULES OF TRAFFIC AS MOTORISTS.THEY MUST OBEY STOP SIGNS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, OTHER TRAFFIC LAWS AND SIGNS, AND CROSSING GUARDS. Bicyclists are required to signal all turns, lane changes, or stops. They are to use the same hand and arm signals as motor vehicle drivers. An optional right turn signal that may be used by bicyclists is to hold the right hand and arm straight out until they start to turn right. (As with motorists, lane changing and turning should be signaled during the last 100 feet prior to the change.)
Bicyclists need to wear reflectors and use lights at night. They also need to do the following:
Wear proper clothing and shoes
Use eye, face protection
Check and test bike equipment before riding
Wear helmets that are properly and securely fastened. Bike crashes show that a loose-fitting helmet is like wearing none at all. |
