It's National School Bus Safety Week! Our incredible transportation team hauls our most precious cargo across 555 square miles daily in #wdbqschools. We rely on the dedication of 40 drivers, 15 substitutes, 3 mechanics, 1 director, 1 assistant director, and 1 transportation secretary to safely operate 31 morning routes and 34 afternoon routes, covering 1,931.5 miles every day.
With 2,356 students transported daily, we couldn't be more grateful for their steadfast commitment to safety and excellence. Let's take a moment to thank them for their hard work and remind ourselves to prioritize bus safety every day!
In celebration of National Principals Month, we recognize Ms. Amanda Klaas, Principal of FES in her second year. Her belief that "respectful relationships build trust" fosters a positive environment for students and staff alike. Your leadership is appreciated. #wdbqschools
