Dear Parent or Legal Guardian of a Kindergarten-8th grade student,

We understand that many of our students will be walking or riding their bikes to or from the AVA campus this year as well as being picked up on Low Meadow Blvd. AVA refers to these students as walkers. We have four (4) crossing guards who are posted in front of the school, the Pre-K parking lot, and in two locations on Low Meadow Blvd to assist with crossing the street safely.

NOTE: Kindergarten—2nd Grade students ARE NOT allowed to walk home without being accompanied by an approved older sibling or adult. Please list the eligible names on the form below.

The procedure for Walker Dismissal is as follows:

1. Parent Permission (by signing and returning this form, permission is granted)
2. Each day, students who are walkers will be dismissed first from class
3. Walkers who are authorized to pick up a younger sibling from their class will be dismissed to do so by an announcement via the AVA paging system. They will proceed to the appropriate classroom and wait in the hallway for that teacher to dismiss the sibling.
4. Walking students will walk directly off campus. – there is no supervision for them to play on school grounds or to socialize. Students may wait for siblings so they can leave together.
5. Once off campus, students are expected to proceed directly home
