• Crownhill Elementary Safe Walking Routes
    1500 Rocky Point RoadBremerton, WA 98312

    Elementary students who reside within a one-mile radius of Crownhill walk to school. We recommend:
    • Children do not walk alone.
    • If possible, they should be accompanied by an older child and/or adult. In most cases there are children willing to walk together.
    • Kitsap Way, Rocky Point Road, and Marine Drive are heavily traveled car routes. We encourage a parent or guardian to walk the routes along these roads with their students to point out possible problem areas and where they should cross the street.
    • The following crosswalks are manned with Crossing Guards from 8:45 to 9:05 am and 3:30 to 3:45 pm. Please talk with your children about crossing at the crosswalks and listening to the Crossing Guards:
      • Crownhill Parking Lot and Dora
      • Crownhill and Bertha
    • If your child is going to be going home from school a different way from the usual routine, we request a phone call or a note from a parent or guardian granting permission.
    • For the safety and welfare of our students, please drive safely in the Crownhill attendance area when students are walking to and from their homes and bus stops. Please discuss at home, safety rules for walking and riding bikes to school.
    • Remind your child to stay on approved walking/riding routes. Please do not walk on people's property. Stay on the sidewalks or the side of the road walking against traffic (facing traffic).
