At Oakwood Elementary School, we are Respectful 🤝, Responsible 👍, and Safe 👷

🚸The speed limit around schools in California is 25 miles per hour (mph) within 500 to 1,000 feet of a school when children are present. However, some school zones may have a speed limit as low as 15 mph.

Here are some other things to know about driving around schools in California:

🛑School buses

When a school bus has its flashing yellow lights on, you should slow down and prepare to stop. If the bus has its flashing red lights on, you must stop until the lights stop flashing.

🛑School safety patrols

Obey the directions of school crossing guards.

🛑Fines

Fines for speeding in a school zone are higher than in other areas. The fine can double or triple depending on the severity of the violation. You may also have points added to your driving record, which can lead to increased insurance rates and even a suspended driver's license.

🛑Local jurisdiction

The speed limit around a school is set by the city or county where the school is located.

For the safety of our students, families, and staff, please slow down.

On behalf of our entire Oakwood Elementary community, we want to say thank you to our Veteran's for their service and sacrifice for our country.

In honor of Veteran's Day, there will be no school on Monday, November 11th.

Please help raise money for our school community and support the hard work of our PTA.
