Good Evening Kingfisher Students, Parents, and Guardians,
We are quickly approaching the Holiday Break, with just one full week of school remaining! A reminder that the Holiday Break runs from December 22nd to January 4th, and students will return to classes on January 5th. Information regarding Summative Assessments for the end of the first semester will be shared with families when we return in January.
Bus & Student Safety – Bus Loop and Drop-Off Areas
Student safety remains our highest priority. Recently, we have had several close calls involving vehicles and students in the bus loop. To ensure the safety of all students and staff, please be advised of the following:
- The bus loop is reserved for buses only from 8:30–9:05 a.m. and 2:30–3:30 p.m.
- Beginning Monday, December 15th, no vehicles other than school buses will be permitted to enter the bus loop during these times.
If you are dropping off or picking up a student during these periods, please use the third row of the parking lot and exit via the last row. Buses will continue to enter using the first loop and exit through the second loop.

School staff are always on supervision outside before the school day and after. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to keeping our school community safe.
