JAGUAR UPDATE
Sunset Valley Elementary 11/2/18
Jaguar Corner
Hello Jaguars!
- In light of the national bus and bus stop tragedies this week, it is a good time to pause and remind the kids of bus stop safety. We talk with the lil' Jaguars about not playing in the street waiting for the bus; not "bus stop hopping" and going to another bus stop in the morning; and also making sure to get off at their correct bus stop every day after school. We talk about the bus as just another "classroom" for the kids. Same rules apply on the bus as they do in the classroom. It is critically important they behave so as not to distract the bus driver. A statistic I have been reading the past couple days is that over 80,000 traffic violations occur each day in the United States by car drivers trying to get around a bus when the bus is at a complete stop. It definitely takes all of us to keep our kids safe. If we do one thing right on a daily basis, it's to keep our kids safe.

We are looking for books (used or new) that are age appropriate for children K-6 and in good condition. Please drop off in the SVE office no later than Friday, November 9th.
