🚌🚨 Bus Behavior Reminder 🚨🚌
Recently, we've noticed some concerning behaviors on buses 1 and 3. Students have been breaking and throwing pencils ✏️ and screaming loudly 😱 for fun. These actions are dangerous and distract our drivers, putting everyone's safety at risk.
While we’ve addressed this behavior with students multiple times, it has continued. For everyone's safety, students who participate in these behaviors will lose bus privileges for one week 🚫🚌.
Please take a moment to discuss this with your child 🗣️❤️ and remind them that safe, respectful behavior on the bus is non-negotiable. Thank you for your partnership in keeping all our students safe!
🏀📣🤖 Extracurricular Expectations Reminder:
Families, if your child participates in basketball, cheer, or robotics, please keep up-to-date on their grades and behavior. Students who accumulate 4 infractions or earn an F in any class will be allowed to practice but will not compete or cheer at games. This policy was shared during sign-ups and is crucial for maintaining accountability and teamwork. Thank you for your support!
🧥❄️ Dress for the Weather:
As temperatures drop, please make sure your child comes to school with a coat, hat, and gloves. We will continue to go outside for recess unless conditions are unsafe.

Every moment matters,
Mrs. Williams
Some of our Multilingual Learners experienced snow for the first time yesterday. One of the teachers shared a picture with me of her students enjoying the first snowfall of the season. I was so happy to see the smiles on the students' faces.
Next week is a short week due to the Thanksgiving holiday. I wanted to share with you all how the Thanksgiving tradition began. Enjoy!
An explorer from England named Martin Frobisher came to Newfoundland in 1578. He celebrated his safe arrival in the New World and began the tradition of Thanksgiving in North America. Through the years the tradition made its way to the United States where the pilgrims first gave thanks in Plymouth, Massachusetts. It was determined that the Thanksgiving holiday would occur on the fourth Thursday of November in order to give thanks for the harvest season. As a result, many families in the US will gather next week to give thanks and celebrate the many blessings in their lives. It will be a time of food, family, football and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on television.
Algunos de nuestros estudiantes multilingües experimentaron nieve por primera vez ayer. Una de las maestras compartió conmigo una foto de sus alumnos disfrutando de la primera nevada de la temporada. Me alegré mucho de ver las sonrisas en los rostros de los estudiantes. La próxima semana será corta debido al feriado de Acción de Gracias. Quería compartir con todos ustedes cómo comenzó la tradición del Día de Acción de Gracias. ¡Disfrutar! Un explorador de Inglaterra llamado Martin Frobisher llegó a Terranova en 1578. Celebró su llegada segura al Nuevo Mundo y comenzó la tradición del Día de Acción de Gracias en América del Norte. A través de los años, la tradición llegó a los Estados Unidos, donde los peregrinos dieron gracias por primera vez en Plymouth, Massachusetts. Se determinó que el feriado de Acción de Gracias ocurriría el cuarto jueves de noviembre para dar gracias por la temporada de cosecha. Como resultado, muchas familias en los EE. UU. se reunirán la próxima semana para dar gracias y celebrar las muchas bendiciones en sus vidas. Será un momento de comida, familia, fútbol y de ver el Desfile del Día de Acción de Gracias de Macy's por televisión.
For information about your child's bus route, please contact SED Transportation Director, Mr. Ryan Haas. Please call 812-817-0900 extension 4 or email ryan.haas@sedubois.k12.in.us.
