October 21 - 25 is National School Bus Safety week. Help us help continue to be the safest ride to school! Parents, it’s important to talk to your child, or children, about bus stop safety. Here are some tips:
BEFORE THE BUS ARRIVES
Your child should arrive at the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus arrives. Ahead of the new school year, visit the bus stop and show your child where to wait for the bus, at least ten feet — five giant steps — away from the curb. Remind your child that the bus stop is not a place to run or play.
GETTING ON AND OFF SAFELY
When the school bus arrives, your child should wait until the bus comes to a complete stop, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay to get on or off. Your child should use the handrails to avoid falling.
NOTICE: There will be a Special Board Meeting on Monday October 28th at 6 p.m. The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss the Strategic Plan.
Reminder! Fall picture retakes tomorrow, Thursday, October 24th for 3rd through 6th grades.

October 21 - 25 is National School Bus Safety week.
Each school day, millions of children ride school buses. Did you know that the school bus is one of the safest vehicles on the road? Less than 1% of all traffic fatalities involve children on school transportation vehicles. However, children are more at risk when approaching or leaving a school bus. It’s important for all drivers, as well as parents and students, to understand school bus safety.
