Transportation Safety
Designated Crosswalks
Carmel Clay Schools encourages all students and staff to remain safe as they travel to and from school each day. With the creation of "No-Bus Zones" across the district, we encourage everyone to review designated crosswalk locations. Please be extra mindful while traveling during school arrival and dismissal times.
- Red Dots = Designated, staffed crosswalks
- Blue Dots = Secondary, non-staffed crosswalks
- Green Lines = Routes for walkers or bikers
- Carmel High School image coming soon. Instructions for families coming soon.
- Carmel Elementary School image coming soon. Designated crosswalk will be at entrance along 4th Ave. SE.
- Clay Center Elementary image coming soon.
Students who choose to walk or ride their bikes should use the green line to enter the school.
Bus Safety Tips
Students
- Never cross close to the front of the bus – make sure the driver can see you.
- Never pick up anything you drop close to or under the bus – ask the driver what to do.
- Never run after a bus or bang on the side.
- If you must cross the street in front of the bus, follow the driver’s directions, and stop and look before you cross.
- Never run across a street, it’s better to miss the bus than rush and risk being hit by a car.
- Stay away from the rear and sides of the bus – always be in a safe place where the driver can see you.
Parents
- Never pass a school bus when its stop lights are flashing.
- Be extra vigilant around school hours – assume a child might run out at any moment.
- Be courteous to school buses, give them room and let them change lanes when they need to.
