Halloween is always a great time at Bellevue Community Schools. Our Culinary Crew really knows how to do things right.

Halloween is a wonderful community holiday. It is a time to meet your neighbor and get candy! In children’s (and adults’) excitement to get candy it is important to keep in mind some important safety tips. Please make sure all young children are accompanied by an adult. Consider reviewing the route older children will take, if going without an adult, and agree upon a specific return time. Remind children to only go to homes that are well lit and familiar. As adults, if we are driving it is important to remember: Watch for children walking on the roadway, medians, and curbs. Enter and exit driveways and alleyways carefully. When we watch out for one another we guarantee a fun and safe Halloween experience. Go Broncos!

Great news Bronco family, One of our sub drivers rearranged their schedule to make sure our students have a ride to school tomorrow morning. We deeply appreciate her dedication to students' education. Route 3 will run as normal in the AM and PM tomorrow (October 26).

Dear Bronco Families, It is our goal to be open and transparent in all that we do. We appreciate how the community came together yesterday and supported students and staff when we needed to cancel an afternoon bus route. While we hope this is not a regular occurrence, it became clear to us that we have not adequately communicated our bus routes or drivers. Our hope is it to rectify this by providing the below descriptions**. Please also know that bus information is located in the Skyward Parent Portal. I also encourage families to occasionally be at the bus stops, to meet our amazing and hard working bus drivers. Route 1: Driver: Rachel Pennock Bus #: 15- 8 Description: East of Bellevue - Hall Rd./ Battle Creek Hwy then West of Bellevue- Battle Creek Hwy/Huff Rd/Jones Rd/Love Rd. Route 2: Driver: Mike Day Bus #: 08-12 Description: North of Bellevue - Ionia Rd/Young Rd/Follett/Kalamo Route 3: Driver: Vicky Sandberg Bus #: 15-1 Description: North West of Bellevue - Hill Rd/5 Point Hwy/M66/Cox Rd/Stoney Point Route 4: Driver: Michaela Ultz Bus #: 15-3 Description: All south roads of Bellevue - 12 Mile Rd/14 Mile Rd/15 Mile Rd/16 Mile Rd/R Drive/P Drive/Ionia Rd/Burton Route 5 Driver: Geoff Boden Bus #: 14-16 Description: West of Bellevue - Tasker Rd/M66/Keyes/Day Rd/ Jenkins Rd/Wolf Rd Go Broncos! Dr. Mark McGarry Superintendent mcgarrym@bellevue-schools.com **These are not all of the roads that drivers go on their route, but a general location and well known roads.

Dear Families, Due to a shortage of bus drivers, route 3, Bus 15-1, will not run this afternoon. We understand this is an inconvenience. If your child rides route 3, Bus 15-1, they will need to be picked up after school today. This is normally Mrs. Vicky's route. Dr. Mark McGarry Superintendent

Go Broncos!

I would like to wish Geoff Boden a Happy Birthday today. Have a wonderful day Geoff.
