Dear Parents of School Bus Riders,
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching! The Deming Public Schools Transportation Department would like to remind parents in order to keep your child safe on the bus, please do not send your student’s balloons and/or any other large valentine’s arrangements that may cause a safety concern on the bus.
Balloons are prohibited to be sent on the bus due to causing no visibility for the driver to see throughout the cabin and large stuffed animals and characters may not block the aisle or take up room on a seat. Please make sure that any stuffed animals and snacks are able to be stored safely in the student’s backpack.
Also, please keep in mind food and drinks are prohibited on the bus due to choking hazards.
“Roses are red, violets are blue, keep bus safety in mind...please and thank you!”
