The D-11 Transportation Department will be conducting School Bus Safety Classes for students in grades K-3.  Classes will consist of a safety video, puppet show or Buster the Bus, emergency evacuation practice, and safe loading and unloading procedures. Classes can be scheduled at your school.

If you would like to schedule a class with us please contact Michelle Mockerman, Transportation Safety, Training and Certification Officer at 520-2949 or e-mail mockem@dll.org. Please schedule your class A.S.A.P., as space is limited. We are only scheduling classes October 10 thru October 21, 9:30am to 1:00pm.

 In conjunction with the National School Bus Safety Week, we will also be starting our School Bus Safety Poster Contest. This year the theme is "Be Aware! Cross with Care".  Students may draw posters from October 10, 2005 through April 7, 2006. The  THREE  winning posters from each class, in the following divisions (Grades K-2, Grades 3-5, Grades 6-7, Special Education, and Computer Designed (CAD) - an experimental division), should be sent to Transportation, at 5240 Geiger Blvd, (ATT.
