It's National School Bus Safety Week! (Oct 21-25)
This week, Sumner-Fredericksburg Schools is highlighting how seriously we take student & staff safety on our buses! We'll be sharing safety tips, fun facts, and even some stats about our SFCSD Transportation system. ✨
Did you know? School buses are the safest way to get kids to school, but dangers still exist. Between 2000-2022, nearly half of fatalities involving illegal passing of a stopped bus were pedestrians under 18!
Here's a refresher on Iowa's stopping laws for school buses:
See amber lights flashing? Slow down and prepare to stop, regardless of your direction of travel. If you are coming up behind a bus, it is illegal to pass the bus when lights are activated.
Red lights and stop arm extended? It's illegal to pass in ANY direction!
Bus drivers report violations, and law enforcement issues citations. The District utilizes cameras to assist in identification of violations.
Let's all work together to keep our kids safe! We'll share more resources throughout the week. Check out the Iowa DOT for detailed info: [link to iowadot.gov/schoolbus]

Sumner-Fredericksburg CSD Monthly School Board Meeting:
Monday, October 14th @ S-F HS Library: Please note the time change from 5:00 to 4:30 PM.
FES earned a Cougar Way Reward today. Students went to the Pool Park. Jasmine, a third-grade student, said this code was too easy and she has known it for days because we've done this one before. So the next Cougar Code is going to be something we haven't done before and more challenging to guess, so we will see who can break the code before all the letters are revealed. Here are pictures of our Kindergarten class enjoying the Pool Park.
Thank you to Meg Volker for setting up this sharing library at FES. She even donated two chairs and a bench for a place to wait and read. The Lantow girls took home books and returned them this morning. This is a great addition to the front of our building and encourages the sharing of books. Thank you, Meg, for your generosity!
The path to the State Volleyball Tournament is set for our Cougar Volleyball team. Come out and support the Cougars at SFHS on Wednesday, October 23rd.
