‘Walk and Roll,’ school gates close each Wednesday

Banner, attached to metal gate frame, reads, 'Walk and Roll Wednesdays, sonomasaferoutes.org.' Image depicts human figures, an adult-sized walking holding the hands of a figure with skirt and pony-tail who is holding a lunch box. In front of them, a third figure rides a bicycle and wears a backpack. The trio of figures are depicted in a landscape of trees and green hills, against a blue-sky backdrop

School is out this week, in observance of Thanksgiving, but I want to reinforce “Walk and Roll” each Wednesday at Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts.
​
Every Wednesday, we close the gates to the school parking lot.

The intention behind “Walk and Roll” is to promote alternatives to dropping-off and picking-up students by car. With fewer cars pulling in and out of the driveway, safety is enhanced for those students (and adults) who want to travel to-and-from on foot or by bicycle.

We admit after-school programs’ vans, and people with disabilities who have DMV placards. But we ask that other motorists park safely and legally on the street.
