PLEASE READ: Bus Safety Announcement
Parents, THANK YOU for your support! We had a better month with bus behavior. Please continue to remind your child(ren) about the importance of following bus rules. Remember, your child's safety is our main concern.
Minor Bus Behaviors
Minor infractions can lead up to 3 days bus suspension.
Intermediate Bus Behaviors
Intermediate infractions can lead up to 10 days suspension, or 45 days removal from the bus. Refusing the direct, explicit instruction of a bus driver is considered an intermediate behavior.
🚌Buster the Bus Visits!🚌
Buster the Bus visited our school on Monday, October 27. Ask your child what Buster taught them about bus safety. If your child turns in a Buster the Bus picture with 1 thing he/she learned, he/she will earn a green token and 3 Dojo points!
!SAFETY REMINDERS!
Student Checkout: Checkout ENDS at 2:15. Please plan appointments accordingly. Parents MUST have an ID to checkout students. Family members listed in Power School must have "school pickup" marked and have an ID to checkout a student.
Bus Safety: Please review approved water bottle information👇 listed below. Have your child place water bottles in their backpacks while on the bus.
🚗🚗Arrival and Departure Procedures🚗🚗
CARLINE ARRIVAL: Carline starts at 7:20. Students should be prepared to exit vehicles quickly. Please do not exit cars in the carline or park and walk across the carline. Morning car rider line ends at 7:50. Students arriving after carline ends should enter through the front of the school. Students arriving at 7:55 or later are considered tardy.
- CARLINE DISMISSAL: Carline starts at 2:50 and ends at 3:15. For the safety of the students, please do not drive around cars to exit the carline. Please do not leave your vehicle. Parents must have a cartag or will have to report to the main office and show ID to pick up a car tag. This is for the safety of our students.
- Notes: If your child has a change in the way they are getting home, please send a note to the front office.
!Breakfast Tags!
Important: Please do not remove the breakfast tag from your child's backpack. If your child changes backpacks, please remove the breakfast tag from the old backpack and send it to school to be attached to the new backpack. Thanks for your help with this matter.
Water Bottles-PLEASE READ
Please make sure that your child has an appropriate "spill-proof" water bottle. Water bottles should fit inside your child's backpack. Unapproved water bottles can pose safety risks, especially on the schoolbus. Please, NO STANLEY CUPS! Water bottles should only have WATER, no drink mixes or other drinks.
BUS SAFETY: Be sure your child's water bottle is an APPROVED, spill-proof water bottle placed inside his/her backpack.
