HELMET SAFETY
Dear Rainbow Ridge Families,
The safety of our students is always our top priority. We would like to remind all families that students riding bicycles or scooters—both electric and non-electric—are required to wear a helmet at all times.
This expectation is not only a district policy, but also a requirement under California state law. Wearing a helmet significantly reduces the risk of serious injury and helps ensure that all students arrive at and leave school safely.
Please be aware of the following expectations:
• First Occurrence: The student will receive a warning and will be reminded that a helmet must be worn when riding a bicycle or scooter to and from school.
• Second Occurrence: The student will no longer be permitted to ride a bicycle or scooter to school unless they arrive wearing a properly fitted helmet.
We ask for your support in reinforcing this important safety requirement at home. Students must have their helmet on their head while riding; simply bringing or carrying a helmet does not meet the safety requirement.
By working together, we can help keep our students safe and promote responsible habits. Thank you for your continued partnership, cooperation, and commitment to student safety.
Sincerely,
Rainbow Ridge Admin Team
ASSISTANCE WITH PARKING LOT
Dear Rainbow Ridge Families,
Please review and follow these important parking and drop-off procedures to help keep arrival and dismissal safe and organized for all students, families, and transportation staff.
Our front parking lot has limited spaces and cannot accommodate all of our SPED families at once. These spaces have a 10-minute parking limit and must be cleared promptly once your student has been safely dropped off.
Please avoid remaining in parked vehicles or staying to socialize after drop-off. Other families need those spaces to enter the lot and safely drop off their students.
SPED Parking Lot Access
As of September 1, parking passes are required to access the front SPED parking lot. A blue parking pass must be clearly displayed and visible in your vehicle when entering and parking in this area. Vehicles without a blue parking pass will not be permitted to enter.
If you have been approved to use the SPED parking lot but have not yet picked up your pass, please visit the Front Office to receive it before using this parking area.
Several buses arrive and depart during arrival and dismissal, making it essential that all families follow these procedures and staff directions.
General Education Student Drop-Off
All General Education students must be dropped off in the larger parking lot. The gate opens at 7:10 a.m., and supervision coaches are available to assist students until 7:50 a.m.
After 7:50 a.m., outside supervision is no longer available, as our supervision coaches transition to supporting students on campus. Please plan your arrival accordingly.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support in keeping our Rainbow Ridge students safe.
Warmly,
Rainbow Ridge Administration
