Only students who live in the walk zone can walk to and from school. Students must be walking to and from a home, not a car. Any students walking to a car will have their walker privileges revoked. These students will have to use carpool. We will have two types of walkers: dependent walkers and independent walkers. Dependent walkers must be accompanied by an adult or older sibling. Students in grades K and 1 will be regular walkers.
Independent walkers can walk home by themselves. Students in grades can be independent walkers if they have a completed permission form on file with the school.
All dependent walkers will be issued a carpool tag with a special decal on it. They can also be used as carpool tags if the family chooses to use carpool on particular days. If you would like a carpool number for an independent walker, please register for a carpool number. Dependent walkers will receive a walker tag for their bookbags. Dependent walkers must be accompanied by an adult or older sibling when walking to and from school.
Parents or guardians will meet the walkers at the doors on the exterior of the Multi-Purpose Room Walker Room. Once parents have their children, they may walk to Harps Mill or Staghorn and then home.
Older siblings who are independent walkers may serve as escorts for their K-1 brothers and sisters if they have permission. To give permission, list their names on the independent walker form. Regular walkers who have permission to walk with older siblings will have a sticker dot added to their walker tag indicating they can walk with an older sibling.
