SHES - Breanu and Jasmine complained that Ladajah was staring and talking ugly to them, I spoke to Ladajah at school. Head count 34. AAS @ 7:15am.
BSMS - Amiesha was yelling out the window, besides that it was a good ride. Head count 53. Unloaded at the gym with the trenchcoat lady. AAS @ 8:11am.
PM
SHES - I have to keep these seperated, they are much TL together: Kiana and Rachel and Jazmine, although Jazmine seems to be totally quiet. I also had to seperate Morgan and Jillian for being TL, with 2 warnings. Ladajah was OOS and eating on the bus, she will go in seat #1 with Pre-K until she learns how to behave. Head count 27.
BSMS - AABSMS @ 3:20pm. These girls are entirely too loud! Ishama, Ameisha, LaAsia, Aaliyah Glenn, and sometimes Whitney and Taylor too....I will continue to seperate them. Taylor had a oencil out, I asked her to put it away. Jared threw a pencil out window at school and Mr. Tidaback boarded the bus and got all over him, that helped the overall discipline of the entire bus. I kept telling them that I meant business, follow the rules and everything would be okay. Head count 50.

AM
SHES - Today was Austins first morning riding the bus, he did fine. Good ride overall. Head count 38. AAS @ 7:15am, didn't get unloaded until 7:20....no stickers on the kiddos :)
BSMS - so many students, wow! we have no room! Alex (boy) absolutely did not want to sit with Colton, he asked me to move Alex (girl) so that he could sit in that seat, I did, but I made him go to the back becuase we needed the seat for girls. He sat with Wesley. I let Ishama and Ameisha and Whitney and Taylor sit with each other and with Aaliyah Glenn...Ishama tattled on Whitney said she was trying to start something, so I talked to Whitney when we go tp school, I asked her if they were picking on her or if she was starting stuff, she wasn't forth coming with any info. She would not talk. Aaliyah Glenn and Ameisha were picking at each other, HTS. Antwan gets 2 gold slips, one for offering to sit with someone unpleasant and one for letting the ladies go first. Dominique gets a GS for offering to sit with someone unpleasant. Head count 64. AAS 8:12.
PM
SHES - Austin wouldn't sit down, I told him several times and one time he even told me "no" I explained to him that if he couldn't sit in the seat correctly, he wouldn't ride my bus. Breanu needed to be reminded of how to sit in the seat correctly also. There was not an adult out at Nick, Mariah's, Kaitlyn and Nate's house.....I explained to them that I WOULD NOT let them off until I saw a grown-up, the adult there sent a toddler out onto the porch, but Jasmine went to the door and told the adult that was there that they would have to come to the door or out on the porch. Ladajah sat in the 1st seat with Lacey again, she asked how long she would have to sit in the first seat and I told her until she learned not to eat or drink on the bus, she said that she didn't have any food in her bag or drink, I tried to explain to her that even if she did have food, she couldn't eat it, its her first year with me, even though she is in the 3rd grade, she has to learn what I require, so she is still learning :) There was nobody out at Sully's house, his mother is usually out with his baby sister, but no one was out, Sully said his uncle was home, but I didn't drop him. I brought him back by home after I had delivered everyone else, but still no one, so I returned him to SHES.
BSMS - My loud girls (Ishama, Ameisha, Whitney, LaAsia, Aaliyah Glenn) were just fine this afternoon, not too loud at all. I have a good bunch, we just don't have enough room :( Head count 51.

SHES - Late again leaving school, not as bad but still looking everywhere for lost children, ugh! Rough ride this afternoon, Sully would not sit down and Ceasar was TL and he gave Cody the finger, he will get a WU for it. Josie also witnessed the finger. Mom doesn't speak english, so the older sister said she would explain to the mother and I told her that he would be written up. I spoke with Sullys mom at the stop, she was thankful that I notified her, we just have to work together, he is still learning :) Ladajah absolutely will not do anything I tell her to, she was OOS standing, had her fingers out the window and then stood and whistled out the window trying to get a dogs attention. I really think that she just forgets, there was no parent out at the stop she is in 3rd grade, so I could no speak to anyone, but I will keep working with her. Head count 35.
BSMS - The same 6th grader got on my bus this afternoon as yesterday. She rides Sue Varners but the school demands that she rides my bus home, so I dropped her at the top of Frashier Rd. she has to walk quite a way down to get home. I think I will talk to Cindy about it. Micheal Vaughn and his group were TL and Ishama and her group were TL, I will seperate them when I assign seats. I had 4 new stops this afternoon, one new road. I will try to update my route sheet this weekend. Head count 52.

SHES Pre-K Orientation
Pre-K orientation was Sunday 8/03 from 3-4. I called Peggy and Kathy and asked them to work, they would be paid for it, but there wasnt much pressure because it was only Pre-K. I was the only one there, but no big deal because there were only 20 Pre-K students and I spoke to everyone about times and being at the stop for receipt and whatever. I also wrote the bus number and driver for each student on the teachers class roster, beside the address she had filled in. I was there for the entire hour and then headed home.

Back to School Meeting
Thursday 7/31/08 Back to School Meeting at VRMS 9-12
Went with Abby to the meeting. The meeting was very much like every other year. Seperated into our clusters and it became chaotic....didn't get to speak with Cindy, didn't get copies of all the SHES routes like she said I would get. I had 2 new drivers that I DID NOT know about and one that I did....WOW! Shirley Whisenhunt went to Bowdon I think. Kevin is not coming back, Tina was pissed that she doesn't have the route since Kevin is gone, she was also pissed that she got 01-02 because it still isn't new enough to take out of town, but Cindy CLEARLY told us that there will be few field trips this year. One per grade level per school...unless the school raises funds to pay for it. Kathy and Peggy asked me to get them copies of all the routes to the school by Monday because the parents will be asking them about which bus and what time...so I went to transportation to make the copies and Miranda was very protective of them...wanted to make sure that I had permission from Cindy and Mr. Rogers to get them, well I told her that I had talked with Cindy about getting these copies LAST WEEK and was finally getting them, Cindy was at lunch so I left her a note to check her email. I emailed her here:
