<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Dear Parents, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am writing to you today to ask your cooperation in helping to keep your children, our students safe during the arrival and dismissal times. Too many <STRONG>children and adults are walking in the parking lot and road</STRONG>; too <STRONG>many little children are not walking with parents/adults.</STRONG> This is a very serious concern for the bus drivers and those of us who are on duty during these times. Please use the sidewalks and do not walk in between the busses; please do not walk through the parking lot either. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>We continue to get complaints from the bus company about the <STRONG>drivers who do not respect the STOP signs</STRONG> on the bus when children are entering or exiting the busses. This is a safety hazard, so please remind your family and friends of the need to stop and wait until the sign is turned off. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is also <STRONG>no food, drink, toys or writing tools allowed on the busses</STRONG>. All of these must be kept inside of the backpacks. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am confident that this reminder will increase the safety with which we want all of our children to come and go to school. </FONT></DIV>
