Community and Sheriff Partnerships
Walk, Bike, and Roll to School
The Kane County Sheriff's Office will be in villages and municipalities across the county to participate in Walk to School Day on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. Schools, community health groups, and public safety all work together in order to develop safe school routes. On this day, adult led groups encourage safe routes, safe passage to school, and healthy lifestyles. This is a community-oriented event that reminds everyone about the benefits of walking to school, the need for safe routes, as well as driver awareness in and around school zones.
Drivers ~ be attentive, slow down, and use caution. Let us each take these appropriate actions to ensure that children arrive and return safely from school.
