School is in session, but do you know about the danger zone? The danger zone is the area around a school bus where visibility is limited, and safety can become an issue. The safety zone includes 10 feet around the back and sides of the school bus, and 30 feet in front of the school bus. Passing vehicles on the side with the stop arm can pose a threat, so always be aware of your surroundings while unloading. There is a danger for smaller students who cross in front of or behind the school bus, as this is a limited visibility area. Ensure the driver knows they are crossing the road prior to doing so. If they can see the driver, the driver can see them. Lastly, if something is dropped while exiting the bus, DO NOT pick it up until the bus has pulled away or the driver is alerted. If a child bends down to secure an item under or around the bus, they will fall out of visibility and can potentially be harmed. Teach your students and children about the danger zone as well as the safety zone (depicted in the image). Help us keep our precious cargo safe and have a great school year!
Every Day Matters- Attendance
Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. This relationship between attendance and achievement may appear early in a child's school career. A recent study looking at young children found that absenteeism in kindergarten was associated with negative first grade outcomes such as greater absenteeism in subsequent years and lower achievement in reading, math, and general knowledge
Chronic Absenteeism is defined by the U.S. Department of Education as missing 15 days or more a year. If your child reaches 18 or more absences, it then has to be reported to the State of New Jersey for our School Performance Reports.
