District School Bus Safety Drills (2025-26)

Dear Parents and Guardians,

 As we gear up for the new school year, ensuring the safety and well-being of our students remains our top priority. In line with this commitment, we are writing to inform you about upcoming school bus safety drills that will be conducted on August 22, and March 5th. 

Details of the drill are as follows:

Date: August 22, March 5th
Time: Upon morning arrival Time

The purpose of this drill is to familiarize our students with the proper procedures to follow during emergency situations on the school bus. These drills are a crucial aspect of our safety preparedness efforts, and they will equip students with the knowledge and confidence to respond appropriately should the need arise.
During the drill, students will be guided by our experienced staff members and will be educated on:

Evacuation procedures in case of an emergency
Safe and orderly entry and exit from the bus
How to use emergency exits and safety equipment
Calm and respectful behavior during drills
Please reassure your child that this drill is a valuable learning experience and is designed to ensure their safety. We kindly request your support in discussing the importance of following instructions during such drills and fostering a sense of cooperation among the students.

While we understand that unexpected events may arise, we encourage all students to participate in the drill to gain the necessary knowledge and confidence in their ability to respond effectively in emergency situations.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the upcoming school bus safety drill, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We greatly appreciate your partnership in keeping our students safe.

Thank you for your continuing support in fostering the safest and most conducive environment for our scholars and faculty to work and learn in.
