WELCOME!

🚌  Ensign PTA's New Traffic Safety Committee seeking members!  WE WANT YOU!

• With this year's 20% increase in enrollment at Ensign, traffic has increased significantly.

• Ensign students have had some very close calls with cars, even in crosswalks, within the past month.

• This is why you may have noticed added police presence at school to help monitor traffic.

• A young Ensign student was grazed (hit and luckily not seriously injured) by a car turning from 11th Avenue onto L Street in the crosswalk after school in November.  The driver acknowledged to the child that they had hit them, but they did not ensure that the child was brought to safety, or follow up with the school or authorities. 

• This is not acceptable to our PTA or to the Ensign community. 

• In addition, certain drivers have been observed to regularly disobey traffic regulations during pick-up and drop-off, putting students and other pedestrians at risk.

• Tragically, SLC elementary students have been hit, seriously injured and even killed in crosswalks walking home from school within the past couple of years. 

• Please be EXTRA aware of traffic regulations, crosswalks, students, and other pedestrians throughout the neighborhood during pick-up and drop-off.  

• Email ensigneaglespta@gmail.com if you are interested in working together to help improve safe driving practices around our school, parking lot, and neighborhood!
