Back to School Traffic & Safety Reminder
As our students head back to school, the Rawlins Police Department would like to remind everyone to use extra caution around our schools, buses, and student pick-up areas.
Parents picking up students at the Rawlins Elementary K-1 Campus should review and follow the traffic plan provided by CRB1 Transportation, including the designated parent pick-up loop and no-parking areas.
Please remember: when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, drivers must stop. Do not attempt to pass a stopped school bus while children are loading or unloading. Reported violations may be forwarded to the Rawlins Police Department for follow-up.
The first few days of school can bring heavier traffic and longer lines. Please give yourself some extra time, slow down, watch carefully for children, and be patient with parents, school staff, bus drivers, and other motorists.
First Day of School Reminder!
For the safety of the students here is the traffic plan for the K-1
There will be 2 rows of buses (inside the barriers and a lane of buses outside of the barriers that will line the curb.
Parents picking up K-1 students —> There will be no parking in the Red Zone of the map as well as no parking in the staff parking lot south of the K-1. ALL parent pick up will be in the Parent Pick Up loop that the K-1 has provided for the last few years. Parents should be in a line on Darnley Rd on the East Side of the Intersection (First Southern Baptist Church side).
We would like to remind parents and drivers that when stop signs are out, no vehicles shall pass the school buses going in either direction. Stop sign violations will be recorded and sent to RPD.
We would like to extend our gratitude to the City of Rawlins and Rawlins Police and Carbon County Sheriffs’ Office as they will be helping us make sure students are safe with the new traffic pattern.
