Safe Routes to School Survey
Please take 5 minutes to complete the below survey and add your suggestions on the accompanying maps. This is especially important if your child walks or bikes to school. It will give our school a chance to improve some connections to school through the Mobility Bond that has set aside $27.5 mil for Safe Routes to School. BUT we need input in order to have data to best be heard! Thank you!
