Mrs. Zappie's Media classes are celebrating with digital art - such creative minds!
Brocton Elementary School is proud to congratulate its PAX Students of the Month for October: Ava L., Kingston L., and Sophia R.
Throughout the month, staff members recognize students who exhibit exemplary leadership by submitting a "Tootle"—a written note of praise and gratitude given to students displaying one of the three core PAX Leader behaviors: Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible.
All completed Tootles are sent home to celebrate their commitment to going above and beyond in making positive choices. At the end of each month, one winner is selected at random from the submitted Tootles in each of the three behavioral categories.
(month) PAX Students of the Month:
Be Safe: Ava L.
Be Respectful: Kingston L.
Be Responsible: Sophia R.
Brocton Elementary congratulates these young leaders for setting an outstanding example for their peers and helping build a safe, respectful, and responsible school community.

🛑 Operation Safe Stop 🛑
Operation Safe Stop is a statewide traffic safety initiative that raises awareness about the importance of stopping for school buses with flashing red lights and an extended stop arm.
Law enforcement agencies work alongside school districts to educate drivers and enforce school bus safety laws.
Here are a few tips to help keep yourself—and our students—safe:
🟡 When you see a school bus with its yellow lights flashing:
Slow down and prepare to stop.
🛑 When you see a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended:
Stop if you are approaching from either direction of travel.
Remain stopped until the red lights stop flashing and the stop arm is fully retracted.
Every stop matters. A few moments of patience can save a life.
Together, we can help every student stay safe!

National School Bus Safety Week
October 19th through October 23rd
Every October, this week is used to raise awareness about the importance of school bus safety and to remind everyone that protecting our students is a shared responsibility.
This week exists to educate students, parents, motorists, and the community about safe behaviors around school buses on the road and around school zones. From waiting safely at the bus stop to stopping for a bus with flashing red lights. Every action helps keep children safe.
School bus transportation remains one of the safest ways for students to travel to and from school each day. By working together, we can make it even safer!
