At the elementary level students take classes in reading, language, spelling, math, science, social studies, health enhancement, music, art, and library.

Walking School Bus

What is a Walking School Bus (WSB)?

A WSB is a fun, safe, and active way for students to get to school on time and ready to learn! Students
walk with trained adult volunteers, called Route Leaders, along a recommended route to school.
Students can join in the WSB at pre-determined stops and times along the route, and will learn
important pedestrian safety behaviors along the way.

A WSB Coordinator will make sure the program runs smoothly, by training and scheduling volunteers,
and communicating with volunteers, parents, and guardians along the way.

When does the WSB run?

The WSB runs every morning during the school year and will follow the school calendar, operating on
any days the school is in session. In the event of severe weather and an unexpected WSB cancellation,
the school or WSB Coordinator will contact volunteers and student families.

Additional Details:

Must complete background check and volunteer training
Must like working with kids and be able to work outdoors in various weather
