VIGO COUNTY SCHOOL CORPORATION

VIGO COUNTY SCHOOL CORPORATION'S TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT IS DEDICATED TO INSTRUCTING ALL ELEMENTARY STUDENTS IN THE PROPER SAFETY RULES FOR RIDING THE BUS.
THIS PROGRAM WAS INSTITUTED BY THE SCHOOL CORPORATION'S SUPERVISOR OF TRANSPORTATION OPERATIONS, BEVERLY NOBLITT.  SHE INITIATED SOMETHING SIMILAR ON A SMALLER SCALE WHEN SHE DROVE A BUS INTO FAYETTE ELEMENTARY.

THE CURRICULUM EACH SCHOOL HAS RECEIVED (THE SCHOOL BUS WITH THE VIDEOS, ETC.) WAS PURCHASED BY THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AND IS PUBLISHED BY THE NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL.  IT IS PROVIDED TO SET THE GROUNDWORK FOR SCHOOL BUS SAFETY AWARENESS AMONGST THE ELEMENTARY GRADES.  PLEASE MAKE USE OF IT FOR OUR CHILDREN'S SAKE.

DURING THE MONTHS OF SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER ALL ELEMENTARY CHILDREN (GRADES K-5) WILL VISIT THE BUS GARAGE FACILITY HERE AT 3250 MAPLE AVENUE.  EVERY STUDENT WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND SEE WHAT THE DRIVER CAN SEE.  ALL STUDENTS WILL BE INSTRUCTED IN THE RULES FOR BOARDING AND DEBOARDING THE BUS AND BEHAVIOR WHILE RIDING THE BUS. IN ADDITION, THEY WILL SEE THE OFFICES FOR MANY SERVICES THEIR SCHOOL RECEIVES FROM THIS FACILITY, E.G. FOOD SERVICES, WAREHOUSE, BOOK DEPOSITORY, MAINTENANCE SHOPS, TRANSPORTATION OFFICES AND BUS GARAGE.  WE ARE DEDICATED TO SERVING THE SCHOOLS TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY AND REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS VISIT US AS PART OF THE BUS SAFETY TRIP.
