At all times throughout the school year, but especially as we move into the spring months, we want to ensure all of our students that ride the bus have a safe and enjoyable experience. If your child rides a bus, please CLICK HERE to watch a bus safety video we have put together. This covers bus safety from getting picked up at the bus stop, the ride to / from school, and getting dropped back off in the afternoon. By following the guidelines outlined in the video, we can make sure all of our students get to and from school safely.
