We have had several bus issues again with students not sitting in their seat, hanging arms and heads out the window, not waiting for the bus to stop before moving, and not keeping hands and feet to themselves. Our bus drivers job is to make sure students get to and from school safely. Please talk with your child if they ride the bus on the appropriate bus rules and expectations. The rules can be found on page 23 of the student handbook. Riding the bus is a privilege and students have been warned it they cannot do that appropriately they will not ride.
Reminder that there will be no Kindergarten tomorrow 4/25 for current Kindergarten students with Kindergarten roundup.
