ATTN STUDENTS: This is an important reminder regarding the rules of school bus safety. 
1.   Obey the Driver: The driver is the authority on the school bus and will take charge in the event of an emergency.
2.   Respect Others: Refrain from pushing, shoving, and name calling at all times. These actions create distractions for the driver and may lead to dangerous situations.
3.   Sit Properly: Riding the school bus is very safe if an accident should occur, but only if passengers are seated correctly. Sit with your seat on the seat, back to the back, and feet on the floor. 
4.   Speak Softly: Loud noises such as screaming, singing, or chanting, can be very distracting to the driver and may cause him to take his attention away from driving.
5.    Keep the Bus Clean: Eating and drinking are not allowed on the school bus. 

Students: Sprague will be hosting a tailgate before our home basketball game on February 2nd and a dance immediately after the game.  Ticket information is available through our leadership students.
