State Required Bus Evacuations and School Bus Safety 2018-2019

State required semi-annual school bus evacuations have been scheduled for this fall.  This applies to those elementary students that ride the bus daily to and from school.

The evacuations will be conducted during the week of:

Monday, September 24, 2018 thru Friday, September 28, 2018

Your school’s regular bus driver will perform this evacuation as they drop your students off in the morning one of the days during that week.  This procedure takes place at your school and is located in your normal bus drop off/pick up zone.

This evacuation requires all professional school bus drivers that transport elementary students, to perform evacuation procedures in case of an emergency.  This can either be a rear, side, front door or combination evacuation.  The students will then, under the driver’s direction and supervision, 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.

Thank you for all you do to help us safely transport your students.
