Dear Santa, I love school so much, but as you know there are some days we don’t have enough bus drivers to cover all our routes, and that’s hard on everyone. As kids, we have lots to worry about these days, so my one wish this year is to have enough bus drivers to take us to and from school every day. That’s where I need your help! Could you pretty please with cinnamon sugar on top help me spread the word to as many people as possible? We need more bus drivers, people like you who care about kids and want them to succeed. Our bus drivers are great people. We just need more of them! Thank you, Santa! Xoxo P.S. I’ll leave some milk and cookies out for you.

nat'l school bus safety week.  Safety Tip #5 - Mobile Devices  Cell phones and other electronic devices are often permitted on the school bus as long as:  • They are in backpacks or other holders, keeping hands free to use handrails while boarding and departing the bus.  • Sound is muted or headphones, ear buds or similar devices are used.  • Content does not violate the law or school district policy and procedures.  • Use does not create a distraction for the driver. ppps transporation dept. cares about your safety. build together logo. kids getting off buses at school

National School Bus Safety Week . Getting On and Off the Bus • Warn children that if they drop something getting on and off the bus, they should never pick it up. Instead, they should tell the driver and follow the driver’s instructions. • Remind children to look to the right before they step off the bus. • If you meet your child at the bus stop after school, wait on the side where the child will be dropped off, not across the street. Children can be so excited to see you after school that they dash across the street and forget the safety rules. PPPS Transportation Dept. cares about your child's safety. Build together logo.
