This is an ELEMENTARY school, which means these are very young children attending. Children that you should NEVER be allowed to walk to or from school alone and even in groups, can pose a danger. Adult should deliver the child to and from school at all times. If the parents are not available, then the volunteers should be doing it. There are more crazies out there now than there ever existed in the past. Guard your children!

This is actually a K-8 school.

Letting your child walk to school is HEALTHY, as long as they use the buddy system. Even Marc Klass, whose only daughter was kidnapped and murdered says it’s safe as long as you use the buddy system. Adults delivering the child to school is HELICOPTER PARENTING, and that is as bad as neglect and abuse. Unless you want your child to be fearful, timid and dependent on you the rest of your life. I prefer strong, independent children, and being able to make it to and from school on your own is the first sign of independence and confidence for a child. Do you let your child outside the house after school, or are you afraid of that too? Unbelievable.
