🚌💛 It’s National School Bus Safety Week (October 19–23 ) and it’s a perfect reminder for all of us to slow down, stay alert, and help keep our students safe!
As you’re driving this week (and all year long), please remember:
🚦 Watch for stopped buses and be ready to stop - especially on rural roads and in neighborhoods
🐢 Slow down in school zones and near bus stops
↩️ Give buses extra space - they make frequent stops and wide turns, and visibility can be limited
📵 Stay distraction-free - a few seconds of attention can make a lifelong difference
Keeping students safe supports our district goals every day: Student Success & Learning, Strong Culture & Communication, and Safety & Security ✅
Thank you for helping us build a brighter future for our children and our community 🌟
Let’s make it a safe week - and a safe school year - for every student rider! 🐝🚌

CHS History Club and Art Club teamed up for a cross-curricular field trip to the Renaissance Festival on October 10, and our students had a great time learning outside the classroom!

Trips like this connect right back to our CSIP goals by supporting:
Student Success & Learning through hands-on, real-world experiences
