Parking & Bus Safety
We all want our students to arrive safely and get home safely at the end of the day. We are asking for the help and support of families with a couple of things to improve the drop off and pick up routine.
Bus drivers are finding it difficult to navigate the school parking lot entrance/exit when cars are stopped or parked on either side. Please use the parking spots on either side of the of the parking lot and refrain from stopping in the entrance.
Please use the crosswalk and meet your children at the flag pole at the end of the school day if you are picking them up. For everyone safety, please do not encourage students to walk between the buses to get to your parked car.
Please review the safe riding rules with your child(ren):
The school rules 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 railroad crossings so the driver can hear if a train is coming.
Eating and drinking (this includes chewing gum) are not allowed on school buses at any time. Smoking/Vaping is not permitted on or near the bus
Always follow the bus driver/monitor’s instructions and be respectful
Thank you for your help with this!
