School Bus Safety
It’s School Bus Safety Week! This week is dedicated to ensuring students' safety while riding the bus to and from school. Students across ABCUSD went through drills on safely evacuating the bus, part of an annual training program. The National Association for Pupil Transportation has put together tips for school bus safety, which you can download here.
Cold & Flu Season is Upon Us
It’s that time of year again - cold & flu season. With COVID-19 still active in our communities, students need to stay home when they are sick with new symptoms that aren’t due to typical seasonal allergies. If a child has recently developed symptoms that include a fever, cough, body aches, or vomiting, they should stay home. To be sure, test your child for COVID-19. If you need a test, contact your school for a rapid antigen COVID-19 test. Together, we can keep our schools healthy and safe.
