Dear Room 2 Families,
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Coffin will be
participating in Bike to School Day tomorrow!
Bike to School Day is an initiative started by a teacher at Simon Fraser School
and this will be our school's third year participating in the event. Please check out the official website for more information.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. Students
are encouraged to ride their bikes to school. Please make sure to read the City of Calgary bike safety guidelines.
2.
Students will be invited to store their
bikes in the gym for that day. Please
make sure that your child’s bike is labeled with their name and classroom
number.
3. As
this ride will be occurring before school hours and is considered transportation
to school there will not be teacher supervision. Parents and caregivers are responsible for
the safety of their children.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I ride to
school with my child?
A: Yes please! If
your child is under 9 years of age they should be accompanied by an adult (see
city of Calgary bike safety).
Q: We live very
far away, how can we participate?
A: Even if you
live far away we hope that you can find a way to participate. Some ideas are:
- Meeting
at a friend’s house and then biking as a group.
- Parking
near the bike path and riding from there.
Happy Pedaling!
