🎄 Winter Break is Coming! 🎄 Mark your calendars and get ready for a festive and relaxing holiday season. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a wonderful winter break! 🎅✨ #WaterfordCares #WUSD

Today, we proudly celebrate our incredible Special Education team! 🎉 From our dedicated teachers to our amazing support staff, we are so grateful for the passion, patience, and care you show every day. Your work ensures that every student in our district has the opportunity to thrive, learn, and succeed.

This year’s celebration is especially meaningful as it marks the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Only fifty years ago, many children with disabilities were excluded from public education or placed in institutions. IDEA represents our nation’s commitment that every child, regardless of disability, has the right to a free and appropriate public education. Its anniversary reminds us of how far we have come and the importance of continuing this critical work.

Thank you for being the champions of inclusion, empowerment, and compassion! Your dedication makes a lasting difference in the lives of our students and families.

🚌 School Bus Safety Week Tip #3
Most school bus-related injuries happen outside the bus, often because a driver or pedestrian wasn’t paying attention.

🚗 Drivers:
Put down your phone, slow down near bus stops, and watch for children crossing the street—especially in the early morning and afternoon hours.

👟 Students:
Avoid distractions when boarding or exiting the bus. Look both ways, wait for the driver’s signal, and cross at least 10 feet in front of the bus where the driver can see you.

Together, we can make every bus stop a safe stop!

#WaterfordCares #WUSD

🚌 School Bus Safety Week Tip #2
When a school bus extends its stop sign and turns on the flashing red lights, it means children are loading or unloading — and traffic in both directions must stop.

🚦 It’s the law in California:
➡️ On two-lane roads or roads without a raised median, both directions must stop.
➡️ Remain stopped until the lights stop flashing and the stop arm is retracted.

Stopping for the bus keeps our students safe as they get on and off — let’s all do our part to protect them!
