WUSD was informed this afternoon by the state that the bus drivers (all but 2) First Aid endorsement was given by a provider not recognized by the Red Cross. Although the training is virtually identical and has been approved in the past our drivers have been grounded until that is fixed. We are working on re-certification tomorrow morning. However, based on this information the buses will not be running tomorrow, with the exception of bus # which transports special needs students. School will be held at normal times and morning tardiness will be given a half hour grace period. I am very sorry about the inconvenience but CHP would not give any grace period to get the alternative certification.
We will be posting tomorrow afternoon the status of buses for Friday. The drivers and I are working hard to resolve this issue ASAP.
Bus 5 is running twenty to thirty minutes behind schedule this afternoon. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

We are starting our sports program with Volleyball sign ups this week. If any student is interested in playing volleyball on the BGMS team, they can sign up in the front office this week. Please refer to your handbook for sports eligibility. Something to look for this week is the technology use agreements that will be brought home by students. We will also have them posted on our website. If there are any concerns about student class schedules, ask Pam, in the front office, to put in your concern to Ms. Bravo, our counselor. I also want to make you aware that the Back to School Night has been scheduled much earlier this year, and takes place next week on Wednesday staring at 6:00 pm.
