For Grade 4 Students and Families-Consentino Community Night will be June 5th!
The goal is to provide Pedestrian Safety for all elementary schools in Haverhill by the end of the school year for Grade 2. This program is sponsored by Mass DOT and also offers bike safety, lessons for middle/high school and teacher training. (see attached flyer)
DESE-approved pedestrian safety includes:
-
- Pedestrian education involves the life skills of sidewalk, crosswalk, and parking lot safety
- These are 30-minute, classroom lessons which occur outside but on school property
- Haverhill Police Officer(s) will be on site to assist particularly with traffic and/or if schools do not have access to crosswalks.
- Transportation will send a bus so students can learn safety rules around manueving around it and on/off.
- Silver Hill’s presentations will be on Tuesday, May 21st
