Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible
Dismissal is about to get even better!
What does this mean for you?
-Place the orange sign on the dash on the passenger side each day at pick up.
We will do the rest and are hoping this makes dismissal even faster.
If the orange paper came home and you don't need it, it just means at some point your child was a pick up so we made a sign for any and all pickups just in case. You can either keep it for when/if you pick up your student at the end of the day or if you know you will never pick up your child at the end of the day, you can feel free to discard.
Thanks so much for your help and support as we continue to work hard to keep everyone safe and make our dismissal as seamless as possible.
Bus Expectations
We focused on 3 main things to make a successful bus ride:
1. Students must be stayed fully seated while on the bus.
2. Students must use quiet/low voices so the driver can focus on the roads, hear emergency sirens or use his/her walkie to talk to other students while the bus is moving.
3. Students must keep their hands and feet to themselves while on the bus.
We are hoping that families that particularly have students that ride frequently can review these expectations with their child at home.
Please label your student's items
Use a permanent marker to label your child's name on lunchboxes, school supplies, backpacks, water bottles, child's clothes (utilize the inside tags of sweatshirts, jackets, shoes, and snowpants). We will periodically check labels and post pictures of items to be claimed - check out the McGuire Facebook page.
Send an extra pair of clothes to stay in your student's locker, place in a ziplock bag or plastic grocery bag, label with their name.
