Dear Parents and Guardians,

Over the weekend, a Salida student was struck by a car while riding their bike. We are grateful to share that a full recovery is expected. This incident is an important reminder for all of us—drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians—to remain alert and cautious.

We encourage families to take a few moments to review safety practices with their children when walking, biking, or using scooters in the neighborhood. Key reminders include:

By working together as a community, we can help ensure that our students stay safe while enjoying outdoor activities. Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our neighborhoods safe for everyone.

Sincerely,

Dr. Dante Alvarez

Superintendent
