At Waukena Elementary student safety is our top priority — especially during busy drop-off and pick-up times.

We kindly remind all students, parents, and drivers to follow these crosswalk safety guidelines:

Always use marked crosswalks

Look both ways before crossing

Obey all traffic signals and crossing guards

Never assume a driver sees you — make eye contact

Put away phones and remove headphones when crossing

Together, we can ensure that everyone arrives and leaves school safely. Thank you for doing your part to keep our community safe!
