Safe Routes To School Programs

Student Valet programs have students, teachers, or volunteers that are trained to assist with drop-off and pick-up procedures to expedite and standardize the process. This allows students to get in and out of cars safely and quickly, discouraging parents from unsafe behaviors and reducing hazards for students arriving or leaving school.
