Ride Your Bus Week - Sept. 28 - Oct. 2
The amount of state funding the school district receives for transportation is based on a five-day ridership survey. Parents can help if their child(ren) ride the bus throughout the school year by having them ride the bus the week of Sept. 28 - Oct. 2. During this week we must obtain accurate counts of the number of students that require bus service from home to school. Each morning the bus driver will count and document every student who rides the bus to school. If children do not board the bus in the morning, the district will not receive funding for their transportation the entire school year.

Safety Patrol Helping Keep Students Safe
School
is in full force and so are our student School Safety Patrol Officers.
These student volunteers deserve kudos for attending the summer School
Safety Patrol Officer Academy on their own time. The academy,
originated by Craig Phillips with the assistance of Mike Cook,
instructed nearly 250 Northshore School Safety Patrol Officers on
school patrol rules, regulations and techniques designed to keep
walking students safe in and around our school campuses.
Also
of note, in an effort to help assure the safety, visibility and
effectiveness of the School Safety Patrol Officers, Craig Phillips
received a $6,000 grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission to purchase new safety patrol equipment for all our elementary schools.
