As the days grow shorter and the weather begins to change, October is a good time to remember the importance of student safety. Whether our students are walking to school, riding the bus, or participating in after-school activities, we all play a part in ensuring that every child arrives safely and returns home each day.
With darker mornings and evenings, please remind your children to stay alert, use sidewalks and crosswalks when possible, and wear bright or reflective clothing if they are walking or biking. Our bus drivers do an incredible job every day, and we appreciate families reinforcing safe behavior around buses, especially when loading and unloading.
Inside our schools, safety goes beyond the physical environment. October is also National Bullying Prevention Month, a reminder that emotional and social safety matter just as much. We are committed to fostering kindness, inclusion, and respect. When students feel safe and valued, they are more engaged and ready to learn. Please continue to talk with your child about how to stand up for others and report concerns to a trusted adult.
As a district, we regularly review our emergency procedures and safety drills to ensure we are prepared for any situation. Throughout the year, our students and staff practice a variety of safety drills—including fire, earthquake, and lockdown drills—so that everyone knows how to respond calmly and effectively in an emergency. These drills are conducted with care to balance preparedness and reassurance, helping students feel confident rather than fearful.
Thank you for helping us keep our schools safe, welcoming, and focused on learning.
