SUBJECT:
Bus Safety Video
Section A.4.a. of the Standards for Utah School Buses and Operations requires students to receive annual bus safety instruction.
Bus safety instruction and awareness for students in grades K-1 will come in the form of an assembly entitled “Safety in the Schools”. This assembly has already been scheduled for your school.
Bus safety instruction and awareness for all students in grades 2-6 will come in the form of a video, which is available on a DVD at your school’s main office or at the following link, which directs you to the Jordan School District Transportation website:
http://auxiliaryservices.jordandistrict.org/transporation-faq/bus-safety/
While all students in grades 2-6 are required to watch this video, it is also an excellent resource for grades K-1, and should be shown prior to students riding the bus for a field or activity trip.
When all of your students in grades 2-6 have seen the video, please send an e-mail confirmation to: amber.gardner@jordandistrict.org
If you have questions, feel free to contact the Transportation Training Department at (801) 567-8856.
Thank you for cooperation in helping Jordan School District achieve “Safety in the Schools”.
