Bicycle Safety Rules

Owning a bicycle is, in many ways, like owning a car. There is a lot of responsibility and children need to exercise caution for safety of others as well as their own safety.

Please follow these bicycle rules at all times:

  • Be familiar with laws (Anchorage Municipal Code Section 9.38.010) and safety rules for bicycle operation and practice them at all times.
  • Anchorage Municipal code 9.38.010 requires that bicycle helmets be worn by any person fifteen years of age or younger.
  • Upon entering the school grounds walk your bicycle directly to the racks in front of the school.
  • Bicycles must be equipped with locks to prevent theft or unauthorized borrowing.
  • To prevent accidents or other problems, bicycles will not be ridden on the playground areas from 1/2 hour before school to 1/2 hour after school activities.
  • Equip bicycles and riders with reflective devices.
  • Do not leave bicycles overnight or on weekends - past history indicates these are subject to vandalism or theft.

    • Bicycle helmets are required for all bicycle field trips. Due to aspects of Alaska State Law and Safety, elementary students are not to drive motorized vehicles to school at any time.

    District directive bans the use of SKATE BOARDS, ROLLER SKATES and ROLLER BLADES on the school grounds due to inherent safety problems.
