Parents Club Pro-Tip
Yield at the "Shark's Teeth" for Dons
This fall, the city installed a raised crosswalk by the school entrance to improve safety. Please give pedestrians space by stopping at the "Shark's Teeth". These triangles indicate where vehicles (autos and bikes) must stop when there are pedestrians crossing. Please also pass this tip on to any Dons who are new to driving.
Thanks for your help in keeping our students safe!
