It's school bus safety week! Keep these tips in mind to ensure a safe ride for our students:
Arrive Early: Get to the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus arrives.
Stand Back: Stay at least three giant steps (6 feet) away from the curb while waiting.
Board Safely: Wait until the bus stops completely before approaching the door. Use the handrail.
Stay Seated: Keep aisles clear and remain seated while the bus is moving.
Be Visible: Always cross in front of the bus, never behind, and make sure the driver sees you.
Treat a school bus's flashing lights like a traffic signal; red means STOP!
The afterschool program will NOT be open on Tuesday this week due to parent teacher conferences. It will be available on both Monday and Thursday. Please come to Mrs. Simonds's room after school to work on getting your grades up, get homework help, or just have a quiet place to study.
