📢 Safety Update Regarding Bus 13
This afternoon during drop-off, Bus 13 was involved in a minor accident with another vehicle. There were 19 students on board at the time.
We are very thankful to share that there were no injuries to anyone involved. Out of an abundance of caution, local EMS responded to the scene to perform precautionary evaluations to ensure everyone was safe.
Parents of all students on board were notified immediately following the incident. After EMS cleared the students, some parents arrived at the scene to pick up their children directly, while all remaining students are being transported home on another bus.
We want to recognize our bus driver, who did an admirable job keeping our students calm and safe throughout a scary situation. We are also deeply grateful to the first responders who arrived quickly on scene, as well as our administration and transportation staff who worked swiftly to call families and facilitate the transition.
