A Message from Mrs. Fantaskey
Bus Safety Reminders
Our Soaring Eagles were great participants in our meetings today, as we emphasized their role to ensure a safe bus ride. Our students' job is to make sure they are choosing to act in a respectful and responsible manner on our buses by following the safety expectations and Doyle 5.
The following bus safety expectations (at bus stops & while riding) were reviewed with the children today.
- Student responsibility and the idea of integrity - making sure we are doing the right thing and making the right choice, even when nobody is watching.
- Following the directions of the bus driver.
- Following the bus safety rules.
- Following the Doyle 5, especially Respect, Responsibility, Cooperation, and Citizenship on the bus
- Being respectful, using kind, and appropriate words and language.
- Staying seated in their seats, at all times; only moving when the bus has reached the student's designated bus stop.
- Keeping hands and feet to ourselves; no fooling around or playing games with involving hands/feet, crawling over/under seats, hide and seek, etc.
- No eating or drinking on the bus.
- Laptops/electronics should be placed in backpacks and not used on the bus.
Moving forward, our students will have the opportunity to earn Wing Tips from the bus drivers for following the Doyle 5 and the safety rules on the buses. Winners will be selected each week. Parents/ Guardians, we ask for your support in reviewing the expectations with your child at home. We thank you for your support as we continue to ensure safe bus transportation for our students.
Kind regards,
Kate Fantaskey

Arrival and Dismissal Procedures for Car Riders & Walkers
There has been an increase parents parking in our parking lot and calling for students to come to the cars. This is causing a hazard as we have cars and buses arriving and dismissing with adult guidance.
If you are parking and picking your child up as a walker, please park and meet your child at the sidewalk near the fire hydrant. Children are not permitted to cross into our parking lots without an adult.
Thank you for your assistance in keeping our arrival and dismissal safe for our students and staff.
