Further info to be shared when that event is finalized.

🚨 School Bus Safety Reminder 🚨 This morning, two vehicles illegally passed a stopped school bus as it was picking up a student for school.
➡️ The yellow warning lights were activated 14 seconds before the bus stopped, giving both drivers plenty of time to prepare.
➡️ From the moment the bus stopped to when it started moving again was less than 15 seconds. If convicted, these drivers now face a minimum $300 fine in addition to a minimum 3-month license suspension—all because they could not wait 15 seconds for a child to safely board their bus.
⚠️ Please remember: When a school bus stops and its lights are flashing, the law requires YOU to stop. A child’s life is worth far more than saving a few seconds on your commute.
Correction - K-2 Parents, please make sure you keep your student’s bus tag on your student’s backpack for the whole year. If you need a new one, please reach out to Jesi Housby (jhousby@rr300.org)! - Mrs. Saey

Illinois City Elementary Parents/Guardians. Today was day one of 25-26 school year....a lot of learning, especially for our kindergarten students. Our staff, too, is learning with a new master schedule, staffing changes, a new math curriculum, and other parts to a new school year.. Basically we are all learning and working to settle in to a new school year. If something was confusing to you today, and you need to ask a question (or two or ten!), please drop me an email, and I'll work to get an answer to you. And if you hear great things from your student about the first day, throw those things at me too - jbizarri@rr300.org - I'd appreciate forwarding those to our staff. Tomorrow and Monday are 1:30 dismissal schedules, and those can throw timing off - especially when we haven't even yet settled into timing on a "regular day". Please be patient as we continue to all learn together!
Due to the anticipated high heat index, Rockridge Schools will dismiss at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 15, and Monday, Aug. 18. Thank you for your understanding as we work to keep students and staff safe.
