SCHOOL BUS SAFETY STARTS WITH ALL OF US!🚌
Keeping our students safe on the school bus is a team effort! Students, parents, and bus drivers all play an important role in making every ride a safe one.
For Students:
⭐ Follow the bus driver's directions.
⭐ Stay seated and keep the aisles clear.
⭐ Use safe behavior and respectful voices.
⭐ Wait for the bus to stop completely before getting on or off.
⭐ Always be alert when crossing the road.
For Parents & Guardians:
💛 Stop when bus lights are flashing, DO NOT EVER pass a bus!
💛 Review bus safety rules with your children.
💛 Make sure children wait in a safe place.
💛 Remind children to stay several feet away from the bus until it stops and the driver signals it is safe to approach.
💛 Teach children to look both ways and follow the driver's directions when crossing.
💛 Help reinforce respectful behavior and the importance of listening to the bus driver.
Our bus drivers have an important responsibility, and we can help them by teaching our children safe habits every day!
Together, we can help every Charger arrive at school and return home safely.
Admission is $2.
Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase as well .
Wear anything black, orange, or purple!
We want to hear about your experience with your student’s education. We invite you to once again, participate in completing the School Climate Survey. This survey includes questions about your student’s learning, school safety, and interpersonal relationships, as well as your attitudes about the institutional environment and your personal involvement in school. Your responses will be very helpful in improving student relationships, learning conditions, and the overall school environment.
Beginning tomorrow, 10/21/2026, we invite all parents, guardians and caretakers to complete this survey for our school.
The survey is completely anonymous and brief; it contains 21 questions and takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. You can take the survey online by using the survey link that is included with this post. (If you cannot access this online survey, please pick up a paper copy in the school office, complete it, and return it to the office or your child’s teacher.) Please submit your responses by 11/6/2026.
All your responses are completely anonymous. We have no way to connect you to your answers, and results will only be reported as group responses. There are no right or wrong answers. We just want to know about your personal experiences. Responses are housed securely in an anonymous format with the University of Oregon Technical Assistance Center projects for evaluation research purposes. All evaluation research projects are in compliance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, (343 CFR 99.31 (6)) and human subjects regulations (Protection of Human Subjects 45 CFR 46).
As you respond to each item, think about your own personal experiences as a parent, caregiver or guardian at your student’s school. Please answer all of the questions, or your answers won’t be recorded, but you can mark “I prefer not to answer” if you don’t want to answer a question about you.
We hope you will take the time to provide us with this valuable information. Feel free to call our office at 207-947-8769 if you have any questions. Our school’s total survey results will be used to inform and develop appropriate strategies, procedures, and/or programs to enhance our school climate.
Thank you for your time and participation!

Starting Monday, the National Junior Honor Society will be selling ducks to students for $1 per duck. Each student will get an order form they will fill out and return with the money for the ducks. Students may purchase as many ducks as they want for themselves, staff or friends. To sweeten the deal, there will be a mystery golden duck! A prize will be given to both the student who sends the golden duck, as well as the student that receives the golden duck- so the more they buy, the higher the chances!
Ducks will be sold from Monday, October 19th- Friday, October 30th.
All proceeds will benefit The Glenburn School Giving Tree.
Please consider participating to help those in need this holiday season.
As always, thank you for your support!
