Subject: Bike & Scooter Safety Presentations
 
Dear Hornet Families,
 
On October 8th, Bike/Walk Central Florida (https://bikewalkcentralflorida.org/)  will visit our P.E. classes to give a Bike & Scooter Safety presentation.
 
Many of our students use scooters, e-bikes, and bikes to get to school or around the neighborhood. They’re also considered vehicles, so students need to know how to ride safely and follow traffic laws.
 
The presentation covers:

• Essential traffic laws and safe riding practices
• How to ride lawfully, predictably, and courteously
• Helmet safety
• Tips for staying alert and visible

 
If you would like your student to opt out of this presentation, please complete this form. Parent opt-out form
