Utah Symphony Performance at Riverton High School for 4th Grade Students
Once again we are pleased to announce Utah Symphony concerts for your 4th grade students at Riverton High School. The performance dates for 4th grade at Riverton High are December 5 and 6, 2016. Your school’s date and time will be provided on a separate schedule. Please note that there are no assigned seats. Schools will be seated upon arrival.
Study materials for use in preparing your students will be provided by the Utah Symphony in the weeks prior to the performance.
Your secretary will need to complete a transportation request on Skyward. The number of teachers should be included in your school’s final count. When entering your busing request, please include the correct group name (e.g. Daybreak, 115 Curr). This will ensure that the Curriculum Department will cover the busing fee.
Transportation requests should be completed as soon as possible. Due to the number of buses that need to be used for the Symphony concerts, there will be a moratorium on any other transportation requests for these dates.

State Required Bus Evacuations and School Bus Safety 2016-17
DATE:

SUBJECT:
State Required Bus Evacuations and School Bus Safety 2016-17
State required semi-annual school bus evacuations have been scheduled for this fall. This applies to those students that ride the bus daily to and from school.
The evacuations will be conducted during the week of:
Monday, October 10 through Friday, October 14, 2016
Your school’s regular bus driver will perform this evacuation as they drop your students off in the morning, one day during that week. This procedure takes place at your school and is located in your normal bus drop off/pick up zone. All professional school bus drivers that transport students are required to perform evacuation procedures in case of an emergency. Bus evacuation will be conducted through the rear door, side door, front door or a combination. Students will then, under the direction and supervision of the bus driver, evacuate and meet in a safe place approximately 100 feet away from the bus.
Your assistance is welcome but not mandatory to complete this required evacuation drill quickly, safely and effectively.
We appreciate all you do to help us safely transport your students.
