🚨 Reminder for all drivers:
When a school bus has its stop arm extended and red lights flashing, you must stop — from both directions and stay out of the “Danger Zone”
The school bus loading and unloading area is called the “Danger Zone.” Specifically, this is any side of the bus where the bus driver can’t see the child and, therefore, the child is in the most danger. These areas include:
10 feet in front of the bus, where the driver may be sitting too high to see a child
10 feet on either side of the bus, where a child may be in the driver’s blind spots
Behind the school bus
Those few extra seconds protect our students and save lives. ❤️
Let’s all do our part to keep kids safe during National School Bus Safety Week and every day!

🌟 Kudos to Kimberly Williams – October's Certified Employee of the Month! 🌟
Kimberly is an Instructional Coach at Sawtooth Elementary, and we’re excited to recognize her.
Originally from Jerome, Idaho, Kimberly began working with elementary students in music at just 16 years old — and she’s loved it ever since! 💛 Her best day on the job? When a former student calls out “Mrs. Williams” and runs to give her a hug.
🔹 One word to describe her: Compassionate
🔹 Inspiration: Her hardworking parents, who always pushed her to do her best
🔹 Pet peeve: Giving up — because failure is okay, but giving up is not
🔹 Hobbies: Kayaking
🔹Bucket List: A trip to Italy
🔹 Little-known fact: She’s written a book!
🔹 How she hopes to be remembered: As someone who valued every person she met
📣 Principal Note:
Our school’s instructional coach, Kim Williams, is an invaluable asset to the entire staff, consistently offering unwavering support and guidance wherever it’s needed. She is always willing to jump in, whether it’s in a classroom, a planning session, or a hallway conversation–bringing a fresh perspective that helps teachers grow and thrive. Her professionalism and collegiality set a positive tone for collaboration, and she models the kind of reflective practive we aim to instill in our students. She listens without judgment, creating a safe space for honest dialogue, yet never hesitates to offer her insights in a kind, constructive, and solution-focused way. Her dedication to supporting teachers shines through in everything she does, and her presence enriches the school community as a whole.
Please help us celebrate Kimberly and thank her for her outstanding work! 👏📘

The event was organized by Miss Kinsey Isham and supported by our amazing specials teachers, paras, and parent volunteers — thank you all! 🙌
