School Crosswalk Safety
The safety of the students at Bucklin Schools is always at the
forefront of our thoughts and goals. As a school, we are looking
for ways to improve the safety and security for all students.
Within the first nine weeks of school, we have had three close
calls related to traffic as a result of students not using the
designated crosswalk. When students come to school in the morning
and are dismissed from school in the afternoon, they are going
between and behind parked cars to cross the highway. They are not
using the south or north crosswalks. Our staff continues to remind
students to use the crosswalks and to look both ways before
crossing the highway.
The crosswalks are more visible to oncoming traffic than crossing
the highway between parked cars and areas outside the crosswalks.
We appreciate your help in encouraging your child(ren) to use the
crosswalks and ask you to be a good role model and also use the
crosswalks.
Thank you,
Tim Dusin, Principal 7-12
