With the start of school comes increased car traffic, bike riders, and pedestrians in the community. In partnership with the City of Carlsbad and the Carlsbad Police Department, we ask that you review these important reminders about bike/ e-Bike requirements and general traffic safety information to support a safe year for our community.
Bike and e-Bike Reminders:
Students must follow these rules to ride a bike or e-Bike to any CUSD campus:
- Be at least 12 years of age for e-Bikes.
- Obtain a CUSD Bike Permit by completing this application and an e-Bike Safety Course as listed on our CUSD website for e-Bikes.
- Affix the CUSD Bike Permit to a visible spot on the e-Bike.
- Ride bikes and e-Bikes in accordance with California Bicycle laws, City of Carlsbad Municipal Code, and District expectations. Please review these Carlsbad-specific rules.
- Wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet while operating a bike or e-Bike. This video shows you how to make sure a helmet fits properly
Please note that students may not charge e-Bikes on any District property.
Traffic Safety Information:
- Traffic lights, signs and signals apply to everyone, including people riding bikes and e-Bikes.
- Bikes and e-Bikes should ride to the right side of the road or in a bike lane if one is available. You can leave the bike lane or right side of the road to turn left, pass someone, avoid something in the road or go around a car turning right.
- Consider taking a “test ride” with your student from home to school to help them get familiar with the route.
- As you drive around town the next few weeks, you’ll notice increased traffic in the morning and afternoons as kids travel to and from school. Remember to:
- Eliminate distractions and put your phone away.
- Slow down and look out for people walking or biking, especially near schools.
- Give yourself plenty of time to get where you need to go.

PARKING at CHMS
Parking at Calavera is always a challenge. This year is even a little more challenging as CHE adds additional T-K classes and our school continues to grow. Please be courteous to our staff and drop off on the outside loop only to allow staff to park on the inside part of the parking lot. As always, please do not block the accessible parking spaces when dropping off your students. Please see

CHMS will follow an assembly schedule on September 29. During this time, our seventh-grade students will attend a meaningful assembly focused on the impact of hate speech. Our eighth-grade students will participate in a No Place for Hate activity with their teachers.
In October, following sixth-grade camp, our sixth-grade students and all CHMS staff will participate in training provided by the National Conflict Resolution Center focused on interrupting bias and hate.
Through these learning opportunities, we are continuing our commitment to creating a school community where every student feels safe, respected, valued, and welcome. Together, we can make CHMS a place where everyone belongs.
