Bikes at School

Students riding their bikes to school should dismount and mount their bikes at the edge of the school grounds and away from gatherings of people. This “walk your bike” on the school grounds approach should become a habit for all bike riders. All bicycles must be locked in the bicycle racks as soon as the student arrives on the school grounds, and must remain locked until the student is ready to leave the school grounds.

We encourage all students to be at the bicycle racks as briefly as possible and only to lock or unlock their bicycles as they arrive or depart. For safety, all bicycle riders are encouraged to wear a bicycle helmet. On a good weather day, there are more than 200 bicycles at the school, and an even greater number of students and adults walking and congregating near the school. To ride a bicycle in such congestion is unsafe.

You are reminded that bicycles at school are the responsibility of the student and parent. A strong lock is highly recommended. We do not have any insurance coverage for lost or stolen bikes.
