This is a message that concerns each and every student who rides a school bus.
In case of an emergency, it is very important that all students practice how to evacuate the school bus. School bus evacuation drills have already been conducted successfully many times and will be practiced here at our school on October 20, 2026 at arrival time.
In order to implement this drill, the following directions should be followed closely:
- To begin the drill, the driver will give the command "EVACUATE BY THE REAR DOOR."
- Students should leave all loose belongings such as books, backpacks, etc., on the bus.
- A word of caution: When leaving through the rear door, students should step down from the bus to the pavement. Jumping could cause a fall, resulting in serious injury. Students may sit on the floor at the rear exit and scoot out the door if they prefer.
- Upon leaving the bus, students will form a line at the front door or a compact group to await further instructions.
It is important for students to know this process in the event of an emergency. Extra staff will be present to support bus drivers and students when they practice.
