AMS REMINDER/BICYCLES AND SCOOTERS
Students who ride bicycles or scooters to school are encouraged to wear safety helmets. Students who ride bicycles or scooters to school must abide by the following guidelines. Failure to do so may result in the loss of the privilege of riding a bicycle or scooter to school. Upon arriving at school, students will park their equipment in the appropriate area designated by a bicycle rack. As you know, cycling is a great way for students to get to and from school, and it can also be a lot of fun. However, it is important to make sure that your child is riding their bike safely.
Here are a few tips for bike safety:
Make sure your child's bike is in good working order. This means that the brakes work properly, the tires are inflated, and the chain is lubricated.
Your child should always wear a helmet when riding their bike. Helmets can help to prevent serious head injuries in the event of a crash.
Teach your child the rules of the road. This includes things like obeying traffic signals, riding in the same direction as traffic, and signaling before turning.
Make sure your child is aware of their surroundings when riding their bike. They should be on the lookout for other vehicles, pedestrians, and objects in the road.
If your child is riding their bike at night, make sure they have lights on their bike. This will help to make them more visible to other drivers.
