BICYCLE POLICY

Students are welcome to ride bicycles to school if they abide by the following rules:

* Wear a helmet and have it buckled as required by state law.  The administration will confiscate a student’s bike if he doesn’t wear a helmet and keep it in the office until the student produces a helmet.

* Lock your bicycle and put it inside the bicycle rack before school begins.

* Lock your bike individually, not to another student’s.

* Stay away from the bicycle rack except when parking and picking up your bicycle.

* WHEN ON CAMPUS WITH A BIKE, YOU MUST WALK IT AT ALL TIMES; This includes on the sidewalks on 14th St., 17th St. and Palm Avenue.

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                              The bicycle rack will remain locked during the school day. The school does not accept responsibility for bikes that are damaged or stolen. Teachers will be on duty by the bicycle rack 15 minutes prior to school starting and 15 minutes after school lets out. If students remain at school after teachers have completed their duty, students must make arrangements for the safety of their bikes since the bike rack will not be locked.

 

SKATEBOARDS/SCOOTERS/Etc.

HBCSD prohibits skateboards, roller skates, in-line skates, mopeds, scooters, and scooter-like gadgets on campus at any time. If these items are brought to school, they will be confiscated and kept in the office until a parent comes to retrieve them. Parents will be notified at dwyermiddleschool.com, in a letter mailed home, or in a PTSA newsletter of any changes to the above standard as trends change.  Students may receive an “Exemption Pass” issued at front office by the Principal only for special transportation use.
