SRO Corner- E-Bike Presentation
Hello Altona parents and families,
This is a message from your friendly neighborhood school resource officer regarding a powerpoint presentation I gave to all grades informing the students about E-bikes and low power scooters. The purpose of the powerpoint was to educate the students about the legal definitions of E-bikes and low power scooters and the legal parameters placed on each vehicle. I wanted to send the powerpoint out to everyone for your informational benefit and encourage anyone to reach out with questions. I hope this helps and if anyone has any feedback, please send me an email. Thank you for your time and I wish everyone a wonderful holiday break.

Trip Tracker Reporting
December is here, and while winter break is just around the corner, our commitment to greener travel keeps rolling on! It’s time to log your walking, biking, carpooling, and bus trips for December with SVVSD Trip Tracker.
The reporting period opens Friday, December 20th and closes Tuesday, January 6th, 2026, so be sure to track those trips before the window closes—even during the break!
Please note: due to a technical issue, Trip Tracker Bucks will be distributed later than usual and will go out this week or shortly after winter break. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this.
Every trip counts—thank you for helping keep our community healthier and more sustainable! Have a safe and enjoyable winter break!
