🚍🛑 Passing a School Bus Safely & Legally
We’re all doing our best—and one thing we all share is a commitment to keeping our students safe! 💛
Our bus drivers and community members work together every day to make that happen, and we truly appreciate it.
Here are a few important reminders to keep everyone safe:
🔶 Amber Lights = Slow Down & Prepare to Stop
Amber warning lights are activated at least 200 feet before the stop. This is your signal that the bus is about to stop.
🔴 Red Lights = STOP
When the bus stops and red lights begin flashing (as soon as the doors open), ALL traffic must stop—from both directions (unless on a divided roadway).
🛑 Stop Arm = Extra Warning, Not the Rule
The extended stop sign is helpful—but it’s the flashing red lights that legally require you to stop.
👀 Stay Alert
Students may be crossing the road at any time—always watch carefully and never assume it’s clear.
Let’s continue working together to keep our kids safe! 🏴☠️💙
RED LIGHTS FLASHING ~ NO PASSING























No school tomorrow, Friday, March 27th, and all next week, March 30th – April 3rd.

Earlier this month, we shared a peek at our Fork Farms Flex Farm—and WOW, look at that growth! 💚
Not only is the food thriving, but so are the learning opportunities that come with this innovative technology. From seed to harvest, our students are getting hands-on experience in a whole new way!
🥬 Harvesting has officially begun and will continue after Spring Break!
A HUGE thank you to our amazing Food Service team for helping to bring this opportunity to life for our students. 👏💚
