Vests for Pre-K and Kindergarten Students 

Safety is our first priority and I need the support of parents to keep our students safe.  Prekindergarten and kindergarten student bus arrival/dismissal is currently a concern that needs to be addressed. Each Prekindergarten and kindergarten were given a safety vest at the beginning of the year. The safety vest is worn by students as a means to safely get our children to and from school.  Specifically, the safety vest is worn to let bus drivers know that this student should not be let off the bus without supervision. Given that we have a shortage of bus drivers and there are often substitute drivers, the bus drivers are not familiar with the students to determine their grade level and safety needs. When the vest is worn the following occurs:

  • Students will not be put off the bus without a responsible adult to greet them.  
  • Students will be brought back to the school in the event there is nobody to get them off the bus. 

If the safety vest is not worn, prekindergarten/kindergarten students may be put off the bus without proper supervision and underage children being put off at a bus stop without proper supervision is a safety issue. 

All prekindergarten and kindergarten students were issued a safety vest. Parents are responsible for making sure their child has their vest on prior to leaving home in the morning. Parents please encourage your child to keep the vest on while on the bus. Prekindergarten and kindergarten students should arrive at school with their safety vest on. This will help teachers easily identify students who have their safety vest for dismissal.  If students do not have a vest a $5.00 replacement cost will need to be paid (while supplies last). Teachers are required to make sure all bus riders have a safety vest prior to getting on the bus. As a means to protect students and follow safety guidelines set by the district, students will not be able to ride the bus home if they don't have a safety vest at school. Parents will need to pick their child up from school.

This policy will strictly be enforced.  Please plan to pick your child up at 2:30 p.m. if they do not come to school with their safety vest.  Parents plan accordingly.
