CHECK BO TH DIRECTIONS
Walk Smart!
Bike Smart!Wear a Helmet. It’s the law. Helmets should fit snugly, sit level on your head, and always be buck-led firmly under your chin.
Ride with Traffic. Ride on the right, in the same direction of traffic. Follow all signs and signals.
Share the Path. Pass walkers carefully on paths. Ring your bell or call “on your left” before passing.
Lock Your Bike. Always lock your bike frame and front wheel to the bike rack to prevent theft.
Make Eye Contact. Don’t assume that drivers see you, especially when entering or crossing a street. Make eye contact before you cross, even if it is your turn.
Be Alert. If biking on the street, watch for opening car doors and cars turning across your path.
Be Visible. Ride where cars can see you. Wear bright clothes, and use lights and reflectors when it is dark outside.
Be Predictable. Ride in a straight line and always signal your moves to others.
Davis Suggested Routes to School Davis is one of the easiest places in the country to walk and bike. We’re lucky to have flat terrain, nice weather, and great bicycling and walking routes. Walking or biking establishes a healthy habit that can last a lifetime, and kids and adults who walk or ride to school can enjoy:
• A daily dose of physical activity• Healthy target body weight• Arriving at school attentive and ready to learn• Improved test scores and better school performance• Lower rates of depression and anxiety• Traveling to school in a social and FUN way!
Get Involved!Here are some ways you can help promote active transportation in Davis:
• Plan your walking or biking route with your student. • Form or join a walking school bus or bike train. Walking school
buses and bike trains are groups of students who walk or bike to-gether to school with a parent or adult volunteer.
• Be a good role model by practicing good walking and biking behav-iors. Students learn from watching what older people do, so follow traffic safety rules and set a great example.
• Volunteer! Your school has many events and opportunities. Contact your PTA or join the Davis Bicycles Schools Committee.

Look Before You Cross. Look left, right, and left again before crossing a street or look over your shoulder for turning cars, especially at intersec-tions.
Make Eye Contact. Don’t assume that drivers see you. Make eye contact before you cross the street.
Use the Crosswalk. Cross at corners or at a marked crosswalk. This is where drivers expect to see you.
Follow the Rules. Follow directions from crossing guards.
Be Visible. Walk where cars and bikes can see you. Wear bright clothes, and use lights and re-flectors when it is dark outside.

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Information: We strongly encourage students to walk or bike to school. If you plan to drive your child to school, student drop-off is in front of the MPR.
• Pull all the way forward, and ask your child to use the sidewalk.• Do not drop-off or pick-up in the curved driveway in front of
the school.• Do not double park/park behind cars in parking lots, or park in
special spots (handicapped, secretaries, principal, PTA).• If you need to park and enter the school, you may park in the
visitor lot in front of the school, or park across the street. The staff parking lot is to be used by staff only.
• U-Turns are illegal in front of Patwin. If you need to turn around, use the traffic circle at Shasta Drive and Olympic Drive or make a loop via Olympic, Glacier, and Denali.
White curbs are for 2-3 minute loading only. You may not leave your car. During pick-up many cars need access to this curb, and we may ask you to move along. Avoid this hassle by arriving 5-10 minutes after dismissal.
Green curbs are for 20-minute parking only. If you are dropping off a child, please accompany your student across the parking lot.
