Safe Walking Routes

The attached map shows suggested walking routes for Glacier Hills Elementary Students.

Arrows shown indicate suggested walking routes. Please select the best route from your home to the school for our students to follow. Mark this route with a red pencil or crayon.

You and your child should become familiar with the route by walking it together. Please instruct your child to follow all crossing-guard instructions and to use marked crosswalks.
