Bus Drill

All students at Dike Newell School are participating in bus evacuation drills this week, including Pre-K. "Why?" you ask, since our little ones are not on the bus to come to school. We will be going on one, maybe two, field trips this year, and it is required. So you may hear tell from your student that they went on a school bus this week. The whole truth will be that we practiced entering and exiting a school bus in our school parking lot, and had a chat with the friendly bus driver about bus safety rules. We also practice exiting out of the rear door of the bus, which is usually quite thrilling for the kids.
