Transportation Policies

All students are asked to cross the streets only at designated street crossings.  Please instruct your child to look each way before entering any crosswalk or wait for the assistance of an adult assigned to guide them through the intersection. K-7 Students who walk to school are asked to arrive no earlier than 7:20 am for their safety. Tointon is unable to provide adult supervision earlier than this time.

Students should dismount bicycles and walk upon reaching the school property.  Bikes and scooters are to be parked in the racks and locked. They are not to be ridden when school is in session or during the lunch hour.  Bikes and scooters must be walked on the sidewalk, on bike paths, and by vehicles. Skateboards/roller skates/roller blades and Heely wheels will not be allowed inside classrooms or the hallways. Skateboards must be stored in the front office during the school day.
