Bus safety:
Students please do not walk between buses at any time as you are leaving school. Walking between buses is very dangerous as the driver may not be able to see you, and you may not be able to see cars that are coming from either direction. Please stay back away from the edge of the sidewalk until the bus has come to a complete stop before walking up to the bus.
Students and Staff: At the end of the school day, when the school buses are parked along the south side of the school building please do not use that street as you leave the school parking lot or staff parking areas. Thank you for helping get all of our students home safe and sound at the end of each day!
