Performing Arts Students Shine
Seventh- and eighth-grade Performing Arts students participated in an open concept project called, "The Black Light Project." Students choose their topic for this project, research, and shape a 3 minute performance in black light. "This project captures the creativity, collaboration, intelligence, and heart of our students. Kudos to all!" said Teacher Ioana Ligdas.
Bus Driver Appreciation
Thank you to our extraordinary bus drivers, and the rest of our transportation team, who ensure our D103 students make it to school and home safely! We extend our heartfelt appreciation on Bus Driver Appreciation Day, Oct. 21. Thank you to our drivers; you are appreciated for your dedication and for always going the extra mile for our students! The district operates and maintains a fleet of 33 buses that travel the district's nearly 12 mile radius.
School Bus Drivers' Appreciation Day falls during National School Bus Safety Week, which has been set aside to remind people about school bus safety.
Here are a few bus safety rules that parents can review with their children:
On the Bus - Each student riding a bus is expected to:
Remain seated at all times
No food or drink
Be nice
Be safe
Waiting for the Bus:
While waiting for the bus, stay in a safe place away from the street.
Be alert to traffic. When you get on or off the bus, look left, right, left before you enter or cross the street.
When you get on or off the bus, look for the bus safety lights and make sure they are flashing.
If you must cross the street, wait for the driver to signal you when it’s safe to cross and to always cross in front of the bus.
If something falls under or near the bus, tell the driver. NEVER crawl under the bus to try and pick it up yourself.
Don't jump up or down, fight, bully or tease other passengers or make a lot of noise while riding the bus. These activities can distract the bus driver, and he or she won't be able to give proper attention to driving.
