In accordance with state standards, Springville Jr. High has identified school access routes for Springville Jr. High students who live within the walk boundary established for the school. 

The intent of a safe walk route plan is not to identify every school access route or to identify the more convenient school access routes; it is to identify the safer school access routes.  Care has been taken to consult with local law enforcement, school PTA and School Community Council representatives, and the District’s traffic safety committee in establishing these school access routes.  Despite broad consultation and unanimous agreement from all parties involved in establishing this plan, no one, including the Nebo School District and Springville Jr. High School can guarantee that the agreed upon school access routes are or will ever be completely free from hazards.

Parents are encouraged to walk or bike the school access routes with their child/children, to address specific concerns they may have, and to instruct their child/children to obey the laws and rules pertaining to pedestrian safety.   If a parent feels their child/children should use a school access route that is not identified in this plan, it is a parent’s prerogative.

As previously stated, the intent of a safe walk route plan is not to identify every school access route or to identity the more convenient school access routes.  For this plan, school access routes leading to the school from areas where clusters of students live, have been identified and are described below.
