Please treat your Bus/Van Driver with respect. They are not the cause of the driver shortage and are doing their best to learn new routes and students at this time of year. Recent verbal abuse and aggression by parents have caused 3 drivers to quit. 🧵

Thank You to the parents, guardians and students who have shown kindness and understanding during this difficult time. We appreciate your patience.

We all fit together activity! Students created self portraits and we created one big puzzle with each child’s individual puzzle piece!

Excellent Minds On Math thinking! Students practiced subitizing and writing corresponding number sentences while explaining which strategy they used to count!

❗ 🧵 Reminder: JK and SK students must be met in person at the vehicle when the vehicle arrives at the stop. Drivers will not allow KG students off the bus if a parent, guardian, or responsible person is not there to collect them. For more info: ow.ly/LOga50PMT4x

It is also extremely important to keep the Yellow KG Tag on your child(ren)’s backpack as that quickly alerts the bus driver that the child must be met at the stop. If your child no longer has the Yellow KG tag on their backpack, please request another one from your school.

We understand there have been challenges with our student transportation system, and we want to assure you that OSTA staff is working diligently to address these issues. Please read our update on the progress and the next steps. ow.ly/uzuZ50PPRlu
