Red Ribbon Week was both busy and exciting for the Washingtonville Middle School Adolescents Against Drugs and Alcohol Club (AADA), whose members took the lead in bringing the nationwide drug and alcohol prevention campaign to life throughout their school community.

School closings, delayed openings, and early dismissals are 1) posted to the District website, 2) sent as text and email messages via ParentSquare, and 3) sent as alerts via the District mobile app. Additionally, they are posted on our social media channels, including Facebook and Instagram.

Congratulations to Connor Bates of Taft Elementary and Callie Amend of Little Britain Elementary for securing first place finishes in the annual districtwide cross-country Pumpkin Run on Monday.

In the past few weeks, we have noticed an abundance of students choosing to ride to and from school on electric bikes, scooters, skate boards etc. In an effort to ensure safe travel for all, please keep the following in mind:

-Traffic laws apply to persons riding bicycles or skating or gliding on in-line skates. Every person riding a bike or skating or gliding on in-line skates upon a roadway shall be granted all of the rights and shall be subject to all of the duties applicable to the driver of a vehicle by this title, except as to special regulations. (V&T: SECTION 1231)

-Utilize sidewalks when they are available.

-Follow the directions given by the crossing guards stationed in school zones. 

-Cyclists must obey the rules of the road, including stopping for a stopped school bus.
