Dear Families,
We are excited to continue the new district-wide bus expectations at Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools. Riding the bus is an important part of the day for many students, and we want every ride to be safe, respectful, and pleasant. To support this goal, we are reviewing WS/FCS R.I.D.E.S., which was reviewed with scholar(s) last week.
“R.I.D.E.S.” stands for Responsibility, Integrity, Discipline, Excellence, and Safety—five core values that align with the WS/FCS Code of Character, Conduct, and Support. These principles encourage scholars to build positive relationships, uphold high standards of behavior, and take accountability for their actions.
Here is what WS/FCS R.I.D.E.S. looks like on the bus:
Responsibility: Arrive at the bus stop on time, follow the driver’s instructions, and keep the aisles and exits clear for everyone’s safety.
Integrity: Use kind words, speak at an appropriate volume, and respect others by keeping devices on low volume or using earbuds.
Discipline: Save food and drinks for after the ride, and keep the bus free of harmful items like vaping products or substances.
Excellence: Treat the bus like an extension of the school. Stay in your seat, face forward, and help keep the space clean.
Safety: Keep hands, feet, and belongings to yourself, ensure all body parts remain inside the bus at all times, and keep dangerous and harmful items off the bus.
By practicing these values, we can ensure a smooth, safe, and positive experience for everyone on board. Please review this expectations with your scholar(s) weekly.
Dear Families,
We have a few important updates to help dismissal run smoothly and safely:
Please do not line up before 2:30 p.m. This allows us to complete the dismissal for middle school students before starting elementary dismissal.
Green placards should be placed in your front window. If you have more than one car rider, please have a placard for each child.
Make sure names are written in large, clear letters so staff can easily read them.
We are no longer using the QR code system. Staff will manually enter names into the system.
Once your child’s name appears on the screen, they will exit through the side doors of the cafeteria and media center.
For safety precautions, no scholars will be standing at the cones during dismissal.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep dismissal safe and efficient for all students.
