ICES Plans Fall Family Night
We have seen a rise in our flu cases at the schools. With that in mind, there are things that can be done to help minimize the spread. The most important being to stay home if you are diagnosed with flu. Do not attend parties, sporting events, or school until you have gone 24 hours without fever without the use of Tylenol or other anti fever medications. We know that it can be tough to keep a child out of school or sports that is sick, however, keep in mind that there are immunocompromised individuals as well as individuals that are caring for loved ones with cancer. Getting the flu could be detrimental to their health. We also want to keep our staff and students well! Thanks so much for your cooperation!

Reducing Illegal Passing of School Buses
Safe enforcement technology saves lives. School bus stop-arm safety cameras are one of the many tools school districts utilize to maximize their efforts in increasing school bus safety. Their number one priority is to protect children as they ride school buses to and from school every day. #NSBSW2022
The Irwin Fall Baseball Camp
The fall baseball camp starts next Thursday, 10/27! Sign up with a high school baseball coach! We have a few spots left! Dinner will be provided. Details are listed again below!
Everyone has seen that flashing school bus stop-arm urging drivers to stop so the bus’s young passengers can get on or off safely. Studies show that thousands of motorists disregard these stop-arms every school day, unnecessarily putting children, bus drivers, and other motorists at risk. Vehicles illegally passing stopped school buses caused an estimated two-thirds of school bus loading and unloading fatalities. Additionally, according to the American School Bus Council, more school-age children are killed from 7-8 am and 3-4 pm than any other time of the day.
The following video shows that these incidents occur more than you think.

Safety is the responsibility of everyone. This report card highlights the issues we face today and the solutions available to solve them. Through education and enforcement, we have the power to see positive change in our communities.
Seat belts aren’t sexy, but neither is death. Let’s start a new trend and always get buckled. #MyRulesForTheRoad. #TDSW22 Help save a life, share! #TeenDriverSafetyWeek
