Pell City School Van Rider information:

Recently we have been having some discipline issues during the van ride for school age pick up.

To resolve the issues we have taken the following steps:

Children will have assigned seats

All seat belts must be fastened

Children will put their book bags in the front of the van and get them when exiting the van

For a period of time we will have an administrative person on the van to monitor behavior. This will continue until we think the children can behave on the van.

Children will be written up for unacceptable behavior while on the van.

Written warning first time and one a day van suspension for 2nd write up.

If behavior issues continue there will be a parent conference and possible removal from the van.

We want your child to feel safe on the van and not be bullied by other students.

Please address these issues with your child. We appreciate your working with us in this matter.

Child Nutrition Program:

We are a part of the Federal Food Program for children. The program is moving toward a healthier menu for the children. We are incorporating many food items to follow these new guidelines.

You will see less sugar cereals in the morning, more whole grain foods, more fresh vegetables and fruit and healthier afternoon snacks. The afternoon snack is the hardest to comply. If you have any Great Healthy Snack ideas… we are open for suggestions.
