Yesterday was quite the day for weather. It was our first no-bus day of the year but rather than it being one of those frigid January days, transportation was held up by sleet and rain. We even had our first salt and gravel dusting for the parking lot. For staff, students, bus drivers, and parents alike it was an instant reminder of how treacherous the roads can become.

While drivers are used to allowing more time and more distance when it comes to stopping, kids seem to move at full speed at all times. If you're approaching the school add a little extra distance and a little less speed to maximize your chances of reacting to kids bundled up in scarves and hats who can barely see where they're going as they cross the road.

Monday marks the last day to make donations for the food bank. Those who bring things in will get triple points for their house and. more importantly, they will also help families in our community to have a little extra over the holidays.

Morning drop off and afternoon pick up can be frantic at times; we have had several near misses this week that we would like to prevent moving forward.  

Please remember the following in the school zone to ensure the safety of our students:

• The High School side is solely for drop off by busses and those with disability placards/license plates.  If you are dropping off, please pull past the sidewalk.

• The speed limit is 15 km/h just before the sidewalk..

• Please do not park on the crosswalk.  This tends to happen when the busses start pulling out of the parking lot.

• Please yield to busses.
