The Ridgefield Park Police Department reminds all residents and commuters that school re-opens on Thursday, September 3. As students return to class, we ask everyone to use extra caution on our roadways, especially during the morning arrival and afternoon dismissal hours.

Please slow down and remain alert in and around school zones, crosswalks, intersections, and residential neighborhoods. Be on the lookout for children walking to school and riding bikes or scooters, as they may be difficult to see and can move unpredictably.

Drivers are reminded not to park in yellow zones and not to double park during school drop-off or pick-up. If your child cannot be safely unloaded from your vehicle at the curb, please find a legal parking space nearby and walk your child to the front of the school. Keeping travel lanes, crosswalks, and intersections clear helps protect our students and keeps traffic moving safely.

We also ask the public to be mindful of and respectful toward our crossing guards, who play an important role in keeping our children and families safe each day. Please follow their directions and exercise patience during the busy arrival and dismissal periods.

By slowing down, parking responsibly, staying alert, and working together, we can help ensure a safe start to the new school year for everyone in our community.
