Together for Safe Schools is more than a slogan, it’s our commitment to creating safe, welcoming learning environments for every student in El Centro.

This ongoing collaboration brings together our schools, families, city partners, and community members to focus on what matters most: student safety. Throughout the year, we share important information and resources on topics like overall campus safety, traffic and bike safety, emergency preparedness, and mental health awareness.

Our goal is simple: to work side by side to prevent incidents, promote awareness, and ensure that every child feels safe, supported, and ready to learn. When we come together as a community, we make our schools stronger, safer, and better for everyone.

Keeping our school zones safe is a shared responsibility. Students can do their part by riding smart. Wearing helmets, using designated bike lanes, and staying alert to traffic around them. Drivers play an equally important role by slowing down, avoiding distractions, and watching carefully for young riders and pedestrians. When everyone works together and follows the rules of the road, our community becomes safer and stronger. That’s what our campaign is all about: Smart Riders, Safe Drivers.
