School grounds must be a safe place for everyone. Students and adults who ride their bikes to school must dismount and walk their bikes when on school grounds. Skateboards, scooters and wheelie shoes are not allowed on school grounds between 8:15am and 3:30pm. Students are asked to lock up their scooters and bikes at the front or the side of the school, and to remove the wheels from their shoes before entering the school.
