Pella Schools Superintendent Greg Ebeling sent a district-wide email Friday about traffic safety concerns near their main campus.

Ebeling wrote they wanted to take a moment to address the importance of driving safety, especially with the expected changes in weather conditions. He says there have been some “close calls” at the intersection of Vermeer Road and E 8th St. In response, the district’s administration has added a crossing guard to enhance safety at this location.

“We ask that everyone exercise extra caution when navigating this intersection. It’s crucial to prioritize the safety of all students, including those walking and biking to school.”

Additionally, he is reminding high school drivers to take it easy on the roads and to be patient with buses and pedestrians.
