While National School Bus Safety week has ended, the conversation about it continues.
On Tuesday, members of our Camden CSD transportation team made their way to Camden Elementary School for a day-long series of bus safety assemblies with our students!
Among the topics covered were loading and unloading, and positive bus behavior! We had some volunteers come up front to demonstrate.
Remember the following safety tips:
-Stay back until the bus has come to a complete stop and the bus doors have opened. The recommended distance is at least ten feet from the curb or white line.
-If crossing the street, wait for the bus driver's signal to do so.
-Look both ways when boarding, and when crossing.
-The bus driver will be watching for potential hazards. If you hear a horn from the bus, get back immediately.
-Use the handrails when loading and unloading the bus.
-Do not stop in the road to pick up a dropped item when boarding the bus. The size of the bus can make it difficult to see you. Finish crossing and alert the driver for next steps.
-When on the bus, stay in your seat and keep your hands to yourself. Face the front of the bus, keep the aisles clear, and talk quietly.
When students keep these tips in mind, they go a long way toward ensuring a safe ride for everybody!
Thanks to Connected Community Schools for helping to put the pieces in place for this event!

There will be three opportunities to attend the show. Opening night will be on Friday, November 1st at 7 PM. On Saturday, November 2nd, there will be a matinee at 2 PM, and a final performance at 7:30 PM. All performances will be held in the Camden High School Auditorium, and admission is free.

Emily Brontë: Teenage Ghost Hunter is a family-friendly horror comedy written by acclaimed scholastic playwright Don Zioldis. The story brings you to Northern England, where a reckless and frightening phantom is haunting the Roe Head School for Girls, sending the school - and its students - into disarray. If something isn’t done about the phantom soon, the school may have to close its doors.
Luckily, star student Emily Brontë, and sisters Anne and Charlotte are on the case, and as it turns out, the Roe Head School for Girls sits at the intersection of thrills and laughter, even with a phantom on the loose.
The trio use their unique abilities, and the help of a whimsical cast of characters, to investigate the abnormal happenings and hopefully, save their school. And when we say a whimsical cast of characters, we mean it. On the way to the truth, you’ll encounter an undead goose, a lovesick ghost, and a totally and completely normal talking meat pudding.
This riveting gothic-themed adventure is overflowing with humor, magic, and memorable moments that will resonate for years to come.
Whether you love classic English literature, a good spooky tale, a good laugh, or great theater, you’ll find it all at Camden High School this weekend! We’ll see you there!
Our Elementary School campuses will host their Halloween Parades on Thursday!
