Niguel Hills Middle School

Bikes

The District is committed to ensuring the safety of students who commute to and from school on e-bicycles and bicycles.
In a collaborative effort between Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD), the California Highway Patrol (CHP), and Providence Mission Hospital, we are pleased to introduce an E-Bicycle/Bicycle Safety course for CUSD students.
There are new requirements that include a dedicated safety course, safety video, safety expectations, and attestation for families and students who commute to school using e-bikes or bicycles.
Riding your Bike, E-bike or any form of student generated transportation to school is not a RIGHT, it is a PRIVILEGE.
As safety is our priority, students must both consistently exhibit bike safety and responsible behaviors and decision making while at school.
Note: A student’s Bike Permit can be revoked for all or part of the school year for either unsafe bike behaviors or earning 5 or more behavior demerits* at school.
Students with 4 or more demerits who have a bike permit will be notified.
Students who lose their bike permit will lose bike riding privileges for a minimum of two weeks with the possibility of losing it for the remainder of the quarter or entire school year.
Students with 5+ demerits will have an opportunity to work-off demerits through campus beautification during any of the minimum days. 1 hour=1 demerit.

Mr. Castle will have a list of students who have completed the course.
Mr. Castle will adhere the permit to the student’s bike before and after school at the bike rack. A school-wide announcement will be made with the dates.
