Street Safety Tips:

1. Always Use Crosswalks: Choose the safest path. Cross at designated crosswalks or intersections. It's the safest way to get across the street.
2. Look Left, Right, and Left Again: Before crossing, stop and look both ways to ensure no cars are approaching.
3. Wait for the Walk Signal: If there is a traffic light or pedestrian signal, wait for the "walk" sign before crossing.
4. Make Eye Contact with Drivers: Make sure that drivers see you before crossing in front of a car.
5. Avoid Distractions: When crossing the street, do not use phones, headphones, or other items that can distract you. Stay alert and focused.
6. Be Aware of Turning Vehicles: Even when the light is green, look out for cars turning the corner or making unexpected moves.
7. Walk, Don’t Run: Walk, don’t run, across the street to avoid tripping or not noticing oncoming traffic.

We want to remind you of some important guidelines regarding morning arrival and afternoon dismissal to ensure the safety of all students.

Morning Arrival:

* Please do not leave your child unattended before school. Ensure that they are supervised until they enter the building.

* Avoid dropping off your child in the middle of the street. This creates a hazardous situation for both students and drivers. Please use the designated drop-off areas.

* Please do not park on the wrong side of the street. This can obstruct traffic and create safety risks.

Afternoon Dismissal:

* Please be on time for dismissal. Late pick-ups can cause confusion and delays.

* Avoid speeding in the school parking lot. This is a high-traffic area, and speeding can endanger students and staff.

Safety First:

Your child's safety is our top priority. By following these guidelines, we can create a safer and more efficient school environment for everyone.

Dear Parent or Guardian,

Texas Senate Bill 9 requires written parent/guardian consent before a student is provided with curriculum instruction related to child anti-victimization. Our counselors, administrators, and faculty will be presenting information on Child Anti-Victimization on the following days:

December 9th , 2024

December 16, 2024

Please note, that Child Anti-Victimization instruction includes topics such as Strangers, Hurts, Secrets, Safe/not-safe touches as well as as prevention of child abuse, family violence, and harassment. Educating students on developing healthy relationships and behaviors can improve their overall health and wellness. Our district has adopted curriculum from “We Help Ourselves (WHO)” for our elementary students.

Our district is confident the information presented to students on this topic is age and grade-level appropriate; however, parents have the right to view the curriculum and/or remove their child from this instruction. Please indicate on the letter being sent home with your student if you would prefer for your student to opt in or opt out of the child anti-victimization instruction then return it to school. If we do not receive your signed consent on or before November 22nd, your child will not receive the important anti-victimization instruction. If permission is not granted, your child will participate in an alternative instructional activity provided in a separate location on our campus. Please note, there is not any disciplinary actions nor academic penalties for opting out of the anti-victimization lessons and reporting to a separate area, they will not be subject to disciplinary action or academic penalty.

If you have any questions, please visit our district webpage where the lessons can be found:

We understand that sometimes your child's transportation needs to be changed and we fully understand. We do ask that you keep in mind when making these changes the impact that it makes on the systems that we have in place. Dismissal is a very busy time and our focus is safety. We kindly request that any and all transportation changes be made prior to 3:00pm daily. After 3:00pm we will not be able to make transportation changes due to students preparing for end of day dismissal. We appreciate your support with making sure our students are safely organized for dismissal.

UPDATE ON SPIRIT SHIRT ORDERS - The presale was extended due to the number of orders received. I have placed the order with our distributer and will deliver shirts to students as soon as I have them on campus. Thank you for supporting Walker Elementary with your purchase.
