STUDENT RECORDS: Parents may set up an appointment to review records at anytime. LOST & FOUND: This past school year, as in other years, we have given many items of clothing to charitable organizations. Protect your clothing by placing name tags in the coats, sweaters, etc. STUDENT SAFETY: Throughout the year, we stress the importance of pedestrian, bicycle, and bus safety. Your efforts to remind your child of this will make our program all the more worthwhile. CYCLES: Riding bikes/scooters to and from school is a great form of exercise, but please make sure the students are aware of safety rules and use extra care with traffic during the ride. Accidents do happen and we hope you will encourage the use of a bicycle helmet whenever your child does ride their bicycle/scooter. Bicycles/scooters are the only form of acceptable student transportation. Skateboards and roller skates should be left home. Be careful to properly lock the bike/scooter and leave it there until it is time to return home. No bike/scooter/skateboard riding is permitted on the school grounds. BUS TRANSPORTATION: Bus riders are expected to conduct themselves in a safe manner on the bus so as not to distract the driver. The following bus rules should be discussed with your child: The driver is in full charge of the bus and students. Students shall only ride their regularly assigned bus. No students shall be permitted to leave the bus except at their regular stop, unless written permission is given by the principal or parent. Each student may be assigned a seat which they will be seated in at all times. Outside of ordinary conversation, classroom conduct must be observed. No eating or drinking is allowed on the bus. No tobacco, matches, lighters or firearms allowed on the bus. No student will open a window without first receiving permission from the driver. No students shall, at any time, extend their head, hands, or arms out of any window. Students are not allowed to have anything in their possession that may cause injury to another student, such as sticks, breakable containers or weapons. Students must remain seated until the bus has come to a complete stop. Students may cross the roadway only in front of the bus and NEVER behind it. Students are not to be at the bus stop more than 5 minutes prior to the scheduled arrival.
