Town of Paradise Ready for Back to School - September 03, 2025

🚌📚 Back to School in Paradise — 2025

The crossing guards are ready, traffic calming is in place, and increased traffic patrols are scheduled! Paradise is set for the start of the 2025–26 school year. As students and teachers head back to class, we all have a role to play in school zone safety. Please drive with extra care to keep everyone safe.

Remember:
• Slow down and follow posted speeds in school zones.
• Come to a full stop when a school bus stop arm is out and red lights are flashing.
• Watch for traffic-calming measures and follow all posted signage.
• Follow directions from crossing guards and Town Municipal Enforcement Officers (MEOs).

Town staff have completed safety checks at our five schools—Elizabeth Park Elementary, Holy Family Elementary, Octagon Pond Elementary, Paradise Elementary, and Paradise Intermediate. Crossing Guards are stationed at the elementary schools; please follow their instruction. Permanent speed radar signs are active in these zones. 

This week during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal, MEOs and Town staff will be actively monitoring school areas. 

Let’s all do our part to ensure a safe and enjoyable start to the school year. Small actions make a BIG difference.
