At Granville Elementary School today...
The transportation team led interactive lessons at GES about staying safe on the bus, around the bus and getting on and off the bus.
Why aren't we loud on the bus? It's a distraction to the driver!
How close can you stand from the bus? At least 10 feet away (or 5 giant steps of an adult).
Reminder to parents and community - The yellow flashing lights on a school bus means SLOW DOWN and PREPARE TO STOP - bikes and vehicles.
The red flashing lights means students are getting on/off the bus and bikes and cars MUST STOP by law.
GES Families, ask your students about what they learned about bus safety today.
Meet the team!
While this isn't the entire transportation team, this is who you speak with on any given day if you call the bus garage.

We are hiring new drivers and pay for training. It's a great place to work and you can make a difference in our students' lives each day by being a caring, welcoming person they see every morning and afternoon.

Two fun things in two days!
1) Yesterday, our bus drivers and attendants received an engaging training on "Riding the School Bus through the Eyes of Autism" from Mr. David Krause.
Mr. Krause told engaging stories of what it was like for him riding the bus as an Autistic, how he became a huge fan of buses (he arrived knowing all about each and every one of our buses!) and helped our team understand how routine, bus buddies, noise and sensory overwhelm impacts students. This increased the team's understanding of differences in others and how to support all of our students.
Bus staff also learned about Autism, how it can present (it's different for every Autistic person), asked questions, and discovered how to create a transportation environment that helps Autistic students thrive on our buses.
Thank you to Mr. Krause and to the District for bringing this training to our transportation team.
Mr. Krause will be speaking with our teaching aides and assistants next!
2) Today our transportation staff visited Mary J. Tanner school to help our youngest learners discover how to be safe around the bus, on the bus and help our drivers be distraction free.
MJT families, please be sure to ask your student about what they learned about bus safety today.
Go Horde!

Thanks to the Granville NY PTO's help, we take time each month to acknowledge a stellar staff member in each of our three school buildings.
Staff of the Month receive a beautiful charcuterie board made of Granville slate and a fun water bottle from the PTO.
At the Jr/Sr High, Mrs. Gribble, the Senior High Secretary was nominated!
"Brittany works as our Sr High Guidance Secretary. In the constantly busy guidance office, her patience, organizational skills, and friendliness provide a calming presence in the office. She has been a great asset to our building since her hiring in 2023." - Principal Nassivera
At GES, Ms. Brown, 6th Grade Teacher was nominated!
"Tori is new to Granville Elementary School this year and has stepped into her new role with an enthusiasm, energy, and readiness that has already made an impression on our school community. She has embraced the transition to GES with the excitement of a new teacher while also approaching her responsibilities with professionalism and a genuine desire to do what is best for her students." - Principal Strong
And at MJT, Ms. Kwak, Special Education Teacher and After School Program Coordinator was nominated!
"Ms. Kwak has transitioned into a new teaching role this year, and has created an inviting, engaging, and exciting classroom full of hands-on learning experiences. Additionally, she is co-coordinating our new After School Program this year. This adds two extra hours onto her day, and a significant amount of planning, organization, and communication with staff and families. She exhibits high energy and enthusiasm all day long, and we appreciate all of her dedication to the students of MJT!" - Principal Taylor
