🚌 Bus Evacuation Practice! 🚌

Today, our students practiced important bus safety skills, including how to safely ride the bus and what to do in an emergency.

Every student had the opportunity to learn and practice how to safely evacuate a bus. Safety first! 💛

We’re so proud of our students for participating, listening, and learning these important skills! 👏

🌟 Today was a special soft start for our kindergartners! 🎒💛

Half of our newest little learners joined us today to get familiar with the ins and outs of kindergarten—meeting their potential teachers, exploring the classrooms, and taking those exciting first steps into their new school adventure!

We are so excited to welcome these sweet students to the Joan Austin family! 🏫❤️ And we can’t wait to meet the other half of our kindergarten crew tomorrow! We know tomorrow will be just as exciting as we welcome even more little learners through our doors.

Here’s to a wonderful year of learning, growing, friendships, and making memories! 🍎✨ Welcome to kindergarten—we’re so happy you’re here!
