Bike to school week information
Dear Redwood families,
We will have our Bike to School Week week May 28th to the 31st. It is a great time of year to clean the cobwebs, oil the chain and wheels, check the brakes, and fill up the tires. As we proceed with Bike Week, let’s remember a few rules.
School Rules
1. We ask that everyone wear a helmet.
2. We will park bikes in the front of the school. There will be cones separating grade levels.
3. We ask that you use all official crosswalks to cross Redwood Blvd. and to enter the front of Redwood.
4. Bikes must be walked when entering school property.
5. Bikes should not be walked between parked cars, moving cars, or in front or behind buses.
6. Bike riders will be dismissed at 3:15.
Outside the school
1. Please wear a helmet.
2. Talk about bike safety with your child.
3. Choose the safest path to get to school.
4. Stop at every intersection, even when you are on the sidewalk. Look in every direction at any intersection for traffic.
5. Ride in a smooth, straight, predictable manner.
6. Be able to stop quickly.
7. Wear bright colors.
8. Ride with friends. This is the best rule for an enjoyable ride.
Riding our bikes teaches our children the importance of physical fitness and an awareness on how to save our environment by riding a bike instead of driving a car. It opens the door to conversations on safety, trust, and family enjoyment. Please consider joining in Bike Week and making it a safe event for all.

Notes from the Nurse
As the warmer weather is approaching, so is allergy season. If your child has seasonal allergies, we strongly suggest making sure they receive their allergy medication and/or eye drops prior to coming to school. Due to the warmer temperatures, many classroom windows will remain open. While this helps regulate the temperature, it also allows for the allergens to enter the classroom. Any help from home would be greatly appreciated!
Please remember any student medication and/or medical supplies that you have provided for use at school must be picked up by a parent or guardian by the last day of school. By board policy, students may not transport any medication home. Medications not picked up promptly will be discarded, as they cannot be stored at school over the summer.
Thank you,
