Study trips enrich our curriculum. Attending a study trip is voluntary. If the student plans to attend, we require a permission slip signed by a parent. Permission slips are sent home with students. Siblings of students may not attend class study trips.

 

Please label your child's personal items, such as clothing, backpacks, and lunch boxes. The Lost and Found rack is located by the library. Please check there when an item has been lost. Unclaimed articles are donated to charitable organizations at the end of each month.

 

Bicycles

Bicycle Safety: Please take note of the bicycle rules below. Our bicycle rules are strict because we care about the safety of each child. Students in grades 3-5 must sign and return the attached Bicycle Contract. Remember that riding to school is a privilege. Those who choose to ride a bicycle to school must agree to abide by our safety rules as stated. A student may lose the privilege of riding a bicycle or scooter to school if the rules are not followed.   Parents can help by reporting any student observed endangering his/her safety or the safety of another student.

  

BICYCLE RULES

• Students in Grades 3-5 may ride bikes/scooters to Blossom Hill School but must have signed parent permission to do so. (We highly recommend that students ride with an adult or with other students whenever possible.) Students younger than 3rd grade may ride to school only when accompanied by an adult.
• Bike riders MUST wear safety helmets for their own protection when riding bikes to school.   This is a state law.
• Use hand signals to let cars know which direction you’re turning. Straight-arm signals left; bent elbow signals right.
• Bicycles MUST be walked through crosswalks, on sidewalks surrounding the school and inside the school grounds. This also applies to skateboards, scooters, and Heelys.
• Bicycles will be parked and locked in the bicycle racks located on the playground. Standing around the bike rack area is not permitted. Lock your bike and leave the area immediately.
• Pedestrians always have the right of way.   Students are expected to show respect and courtesy for pedestrians. Caution and care should be exercised when passing or sharing the sidewalks with others. Students may not block walkways with their bikes/scooters or ride recklessly in a way that endangers pedestrians or themselves.
