There are times when we are asked if a new stop can be made. This type of request may take a minimum of two weeks to coordinate and process the information (weather permitting). Such requests would require us to go out and look at a house location to make a better determination if the request can or cannot be done. We ask if you would help us locate you easier, by ensuring your address is clearly posted, and no less than 3 inches tall and visible from both directions and not obstructed from trees, shrubs etc.

Please remind your student(s) of proper bus stop behavior by standing at the stop, and not playing games or horsing around and not going onto or disturbing someone else’s property

Also, please remind your student(s) there are several bus rules and one of them are that there is NO food nor drink permitted on the school bus. There is the potential for another student to have an allergic reaction to that item. The newest rule that MUST be followed is to wear your face covering at all times while on the bus and to stay in the seat that has been assigned to you.

Inclement Weather: The new notifications system will follow the districts guidelines that are sent out via Skyward and will also be updated via the districts web page at www.rlasd.net; Twitter: @rlschools and Facebook: Red Lion Area School District. Please ensure your contact information is updated in Skyward.

Water can get boring, making it tempting to reach for sugary, high-calorie drinks. Instead, try this trick: Infuse your water with fresh fruits. Surprising and slightly sweet flavors, like this recipe using blackberry and mint, will give you the flavors you crave and keep you hydrated.

The antioxidants found in blackberries not only protect the body, but their antibacterial properties can also kill bacteria in your mouth.

INGREDIENTS:

A handful of blackberries (use more if you like!)

4 to 5 mint leaves

Water

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mash the blackberries using your hands, or a spoon. Add the juice to a pitcher.

2. Rub the mint leaves in your hands to release the oils. Place them in the same pitcher.

3. Add 3 to 4 cups of water to the pitcher.

4. Let the water, blackberry juice and mint infuse (sit and rest) for at least 2 hours. For full flavor, leave it in the fridge overnight.

5. Give the water a good stir. Add more blackberries or mint to taste.

6. Enjoy!
