Inclement Weather & School Closure Policy
Winter Safety
On dark winter mornings, make sure you are visible to others. Place reflective markings on your clothing or carry a flashlight. Our first priority is the safety of our students.
Bus & Fire Lane Safety
The lane between the high school and middle school is a bus and fire lane. Bus drivers record license plate numbers of drivers violating state laws regarding loading and unloading of school buses. Those numbers are given to the Philomath Police Department, and contact is made with the registered owner. Please do not use this lane ... help us keep all of our students safe.
Bus Stop Etiquette
Please have students at the bus stop 5 minutes before the bus is due. Drivers are on a strict schedule and cannot sit and wait. If students miss the bus, please do not follow it to the next stop so they can jump on. The area between the rear wheels and front wheels on a bus is known as the "Danger Zone," and the driver may not see students walking in this area. Please drive your child to school if they miss the bus; it is much safer than following the bus and letting them out in the "Danger Zone."
Bus Notes
Bus notes are required for students riding a different bus and for non-bus students to ride home with a bus student. Notes must be turned in to the office before 9:00 a.m. and signed by office personnel. Students may retrieve signed notes in the afternoon.
