Berkeley, California (Thursday, March 25, 2021) - Berkeley Schools are beginning to return to in person instruction. The Berkeley Police Department wants to draw attention to this unusually timed back-to-school, especially regarding traffic and pedestrian safety.
Elementary schools are set to have groups of students return to campus on Monday March 29th, and again on Monday April 12th. Middle school students will begin returning Monday April 12th.
As students return to school, and to their school commutes, we urge all Berkeleyans to be extra careful and aware of traffic safety issues. Members of our community commute by diverse methods, including by car, bus, bicycle, and on foot! We ask all the members of our community to read the attached information from the State Office of Traffic Safety, and be extra cautious as our smaller community members resume their school commutes.
