This is your Assistant Principal Mrs. Davis calling with some important reminders. With the upcoming time change and darker mornings, we want to remind everyone about bus stop safety. Please make sure your child arrives at the bus stop a few minutes early and is ready to board when the bus arrives.
It would be very helpful if parents or students use a flashlight or cell phone flashlight so our drivers can see everyone clearly in the dark. When the bus’s amber lights are flashing and the doors open, visibility can be limited—so please remind students never to run to the bus.
Thank you for helping keep all of our students safe this season.
