Walk - Roll - Ride - Bus to School Day - October 6th


Will you walk, roll, bike, or bus this year? Choose what works for your family. It's good for your health and your environment. Make it fun and celebrate International Walk to School Day this year on Wednesday, October 6th! Held annually, this event joins together students from over 40 countries. Help to plan your commute: www.NewtonSafeRoutes.org 

Resources and tips for a safe commute:
  1. Burr maps and driving/parking rules www.burrpto.org/safe-routes-to-school.  
  2. Walking map (PDF file- see below): www.newton.k12.ma.us/Page/3516 
  3. Park and walk – Parking is allowed on one side of Pine Street and Washburn St. a 2 blocks from school. Look for “no parking” signs in front of and behind you! “No parking” means no parking/waiting at all. "Live parking" means the driver must stay in the car. The Blue Zone and "no parking" map.
  4. Explain the rules to whoever is accompanying your child. We know the rules are a bit complicated, so thanks for your attention to keeping us all safe!
NOTE:  We'd love to have 4 volunteers to offer each student a Safe Routes bookmark/sticker (at school approximately 7:45am–8:20am).
