School Bus Safety Rules
Riding the school bus is a privilege requiring a certain level of safety and decorum. A rider's privileges may be revoked if they cannot ride safely. The following provides basic safety rules for riders. Clink the button below for a complete list of bus safety rules.
Riding the Bus
- The School's code of conduct should always be obeyed on the bus.
- Take your seat promptly and sit facing forward at all times.
- Place bags and backpacks on your lap. Keep the aisle clear at all times.
- Windows should only be opened with the permission of the driver. Always keep your head, hands and arms inside the bus. Throwing objects inside or outside of the bus is not permitted.
- Talk quietly, the driver needs to concentrate to safely drive the bus. Be extremely quiet when at railraod crossings so the driver can hear if a train is coming.
- Eating and drinking (including chewing gum) are not allowed on school buses at any time. Smoking/vaping is not permitted on or near the bus.
- Always follw the bus driver/monitor's instructions and be respectful.
Cross Country 2024
Cross country tryouts happened last week. Practices will be Day 2 and Day 4 at second break. Students will need proper running shoes and a water bottle. In order to make the team students are required to attend practices and be able to run the distance. Our regional cross country meet will be on Thursday, October 10. If your child is successful in making the team, permission forms with more detailed information and cost will be available through School Day.
If you have questions, please contact the Cross Country Coaches, Christina Aylesworth or Tara Shire.
Student Accident Insurance
UNDER THE EDUCATION ACT THE BOARD IS NOT PERMITTED TO PROVIDE INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR ACCIDENTS TO PUPILS. THEREFORE, the Board recommends consideration of The insure my Kids plan to any parent/guardian, who wishes to obtain this kind of insurance. Although the policy has all the advantages of a group plan, it is essentially a direct contract between the parent/guardian and the insurance company.
