1st Period Reminder: Bike & Scooter Safety

Good morning, Crocker,

Please remember the rules regarding bikes and scooters:
  • Any student bringing a bicycle or a scooter to school is responsible for placing it in the rack by the gym and locking it to the bike rack. The school will not assume responsibility for any bicycles or scooters.
  • State law requires all minors to wear a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet. Riders should observe the same laws that govern automobiles.
  • Bicycles and scooters are not to be ridden through school grounds or around the buildings before, during, or after school hours. If students must go through campus to reach the bike rack area, they are to walk the bikes and scooters. Students may receive a Referral for riding around the school buildings.
  • On regular bikes and e-bikes, you are not allowed to transport passengers, so no riding double.
  • Stick to the path next to Ralston, please do not ride across the field at Crocker or North. It ruins the grass for the after school and weekend sports. 
  • You must walk your bike or scooter in crosswalks.
  • Please ride slowly and carefully as you leave campus, as other children are using the same paths to go home. Walkers have the right-of-way and can walk on the right and riders can pass safely by them on the left.
  • It is a privilege to ride your bike and scooter to school. If you cannot follow the guidelines for bike and scooter safety, you will no longer be allowed to ride to school.
  • It is not recommended that you ride in the rain due to slippery conditions and poor visibility.
Thank you for your cooperation,

Lisa Ayer
