South Wasco County School District #1

Bus Safety Matters! 🛑🚌

Our children’s safety starts the moment they head to the bus stop.

Please remember these critical rules when you see a school bus on the road:
Always stop when the red lights flash and the stop arm is extended.
Both directions must stop on undivided roads—no exceptions!
Watch for children walking near bus stops, loading, or unloading.
Put distractions away and slow down in school zones and neighborhoods.

A few extra seconds of patience can save a life. Let's keep our kids safe together!

SWC Middle/High School would like to invite families to our Academic Awards Assembly recognizing students who earned Honorable Mention, Honor Roll, High Honors and 95% or better attendance for the second semester of the 2025-26 school year. This will be held on Monday, October 26th at 11:20am in the High School Gym. We will also be streaming this assembly on our school Facebook page for families who cannot make it to the assembly in person. We look forward seeing you all there!

Mrs. Carter's MS Art class has their awesome charcoal artwork on display at the High School by the gym. Stop by and check it out if you are in the area!
