Over the last cycle, Mrs. Hoofnagle and a district school bus driver teamed up to teach all the students about bus safety and expected bus behaviors. We hope that your child has come home and told you about getting on a school bus during Social Skills class!

If you have a student who rides that bus, please take a moment to become familiar with the district rules for riding a school bus. Each bus riding student is now aware and has signed a copy of the rules. By conducting this lesson, we hope to see an improvement in bus behavior.

Thank you so much for supporting our drivers!
