Please remember that Grafton Public Schools is a peanut/treenut free school. Thank you!
As the new year starts, we want to send a reminder of law and legal requirements to stop when a bus has it's stop arm extended and flashing. If you are caught breaking that law, there is a $250 fine and 6 points off your license. If you're under 18, 6points off your license will actually cancel your license and you won't be able to get a work permit. In order to get your drivers license again, you will need to complete Drivers Ed, pass a permit test and eventually your driving test again in order to get your license. Bus drivers are told to contact police when people drive past their extended stop arms, and community members are urged to contact police if they see anyone driving around the extended stop arms. So far three students have been pulled over since school started. Use the image to see the guides for stopping with the different types of laned roads. Let's work together to keep our students and staff on the buses safe.
PARKING LOT CONSTRUCTION
Starting Tomorrow, Friday August 22nd, the north asphalt parking lot (closer to Centennial Center) will be redone, so Staff and Student parking should be in the south lot by Door 27. Student drop off and pick up should use Door 27. All buses will load from Door 27. Please use School Road to get to the south end of the building. This will last until Wednesday, August 27th.
If you have a student that plans to play fall sports, please make sure they get a physical before their first practice. Students are not allowed to participate in practice without a physical. If they do not participate in enough practices, they will not be allowed to participate in opening games/meets/matches. Forms for physicals can be found on the school website under activities. You can schedule physicals at Unity Clinic or Community Health here in Grafton or any other accepting clinic in the area.
