🚲🛴 Bike Safety
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Tommie Barfield continues to work on educating our students and staff about bike safety here on Marco Island. There has been a rising concern from parents, staff, and community members about the use of electric bikes, scooters, and overall bike safety. Electronic bikes seem to be trending with many of our elementary and middle-school aged students. The increased use of these bikes has caused concern among the community for both student and driver safety.
Please know we spent time speaking to all students on the news today regarding bike safety and overall awareness of various modes of transportation. We ask that you speak with your child about proper safety protocols as well. TBE's goal is to work together with parents and community members to build awareness and ensure our students stay staff while traveling around the island.
Below is an information sheet from Marco Island Police Department regarding the use of electronic bikes.
We appreciate your support and effort in ensuring the continued safety of our students.
Sincerley,
Alyssa Ledbetter
