Bus Stops and Transportation
of Warm Springs students
The school and district policy is
to allow students off the bus only at
their designated bus stops. We do
this because of our concern for the
safety and welfare of our students.
At times it may be necessary for
your child to be let off the bus at
another location. In order to do
this the school office staff must
have a written communication
from you. Clear, specific wording
is very important and bus routes
will not be changed for this pur
pose. We appreciate your help in
this matter to keep your child safe.

The bill reads in part: "Resolved
by the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled,
that the month of November, 1990,
is designated as National Ameri
can Indian Heritage Month, and
the president is authorized and
requested to call upon federal,
state, and local governments, inter
ested groups and organizations,
and the people of the United States
to observe such month with ap
propriate programs, ceremonies
and activities.
Princess Pale Moon, president

sage to the combined efforts of
Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii,
congressman Eni Faleomavaega of
Samoa, letters of support from
many tribes, and The American
Indian Heritage Foundation which
spent several years securing na
tional support and the more than
270 necessary votes.
The foundation encourages In
dian people throughout America
to celebrate this national recogni
tion thru a unified effort and to
share with the Non-Indian society
the value and contribution Indians
have given to Americans.

Tape makes Halloween safer
Children have a better chance of
being seen at Halloween by eve
ryone, including car drivers, when
free reflective tape is added to cos
tumes and bags.
The tape glows when light
strikes it, making anything it is on
easier to see at night. Optometric
tests found that reflective tape
shows up better than white fabric
in the dark. Drivers can more eas
ily see trick-or-treaters on the curb

Grades 3, 4 and 5:
Begins at 8:35 a.m.
Ends at 3:25 p.m.
Students are allowed in the
building at 8:30 a.m. The tardy bell
rings at 8:35 a.m. We appreciate
having your child to school on
time. This year we ask that you
send a note when your child is
absent and the reason for the
absences. A phone call is also
acceptable. In cooperation with
the Confederated Tribes we are
making an even greater effort to do
all that we can to help students
attend each and every day of the
school year.
After school times:
First and second grade students
are not allowed to stay after to ride
the late bus. Only students who do
not have buses to their regular
routes are allowed to stay to ride
the late bus. There are two reasons
for this. ( I ) Buses are too crowded
to allow students to remain and
take another bus home. (2) This
time is used by the teachers to
prepare for the next day's lesson
and not for child care. If you
should have a concern about this
please call us.
