Cameras Now Operating on Buses
Video cameras have been recently installed on all of our school buses. These cameras will help keep our students safer on buses, and will cover both the interior and exterior of the bus. The camera footage will be used to help document and prevent any unsafe behavior on the bus, and to identify and prosecute dangerous drivers around school buses and bus stops.
It’s important to note that these cameras will not be monitored live in real time, but their footage will be used by school administration whenever situations need further investigation. Footage is not available for public viewing.
These cameras were funded in large part by a grant from the State of Minnesota to help improve school bus safety for our students. We are excited to have this additional tool to help provide a safe ride to school for all of our students.

FLE Staff Spotlight
Mrs. Franklin
5th Grade Teacher
I have worked at FLE for 25 years! My favorite thing about our school is the awesome teamwork that all the staff show while working FLE a safe and fun place to be!
Mrs. Gajeski
Paraprofessional
I have worked at FLE since 2004. FLE is a really special place, with really special people. I love watching the students I work with make progress and watch the joy in their faces that come with that. I love working with the wonderful teachers here and making connections with them. The team spirit here is wonderful!
Here Comes the Bus Update
Unfortunately, our district’s bus tracking tool, Here Comes the Bus, is no longer working district-wide. This is due to a recent change in technology integration capabilities between our system and the app’s system.
The district notified families back in December that this app was being discontinued, however at that time it was still working for some routes. At this time, the app is no longer working for any routes.
Our transportation department has a replacement tool and they are working quickly to get it up and running as soon as possible. Watch for a district communication in 2-3 weeks with more information and instructions. We know that this app has become a valuable tool for parents and students, and hope to have this resolved as quickly as possible.
