SOMERSET, Aug 26, 2010  READY to ROLL By KEN SHMIDHEISER, Managing Editor Commonwealth Journal What gets six miles a gallon, travels over a million miles a year and costs $3.7 million to drive? If you answered 133 Pulaski County school buses, you go to the head of the class. Shuttling 8,400 county students to and from their respective schools is, to quote Pulaski County School Supt. Steve Butcher, "an awesome job." That job includes coordinating the 140 county school bus drivers who handle 116 routes. Each driver must possess a Commercial Drivers License (CDL) with a passenger endorsement and have completed 44 hours of specialized training. Pulaski County school buses service eight elementaries, two middle and three high schools. We are also in our fourth year of handling student transportation for the Area Technology School," noted Sherry Super, a spokesperson for the county school district. (read more)

By CHRIS HARRIS, Staff Writer Commonwealth Journal In these technological times, the kind of Web presence an entity has is as crucial as anything else to its success and effectiveness. That's why Pulaski County Schools decided to give theirs a reboot of sorts. The Pulaski County School System is sporting fancy new digs on the Internet, with a redesigned www.pulaski.net. This next-generation website isn't just user-friendly -- it's downright user-joyful, as district technology coordinator Teresa Nicholas explained. "We have completely redesigned every website in the district," said Nicholas, "not just the district homepage but all the individual school pages as well.... The additional tools help us foster communication." (read more) BACK TO SCHOOL TIPS
It’s important to prepare your child for going back to school as early as possible to help them feel secure and confident about the up-coming year. Here are a few tips to help your child get ready.
1. Visit school with your child. Attend the scheduled open house to locate his/her classroom and meet the teacher.
2. Buy necessary school supplies so your child feels more prepared and excited about school.
3. Keep a calendar of important events. Mark any school-wide events and make plans to participate with your child.
4. Make copies of all important documents regarding your child’s health and emergency information. Attain necessary physicals including sports physicals for extra-curricular activities.
5. Start establishing earlier bedtimes at least a week before school starts to help your child get back into a routine.
6. Make a “homework area” in your home and stock it with necessary supplies your child will need to complete homework throughout the year. Make sure it’s in a quiet, well-lit location where you can offer support and guidance.
7. Decide on an area where your child will keep belongs (backpacks, books, etc.) so that you and the child will know where it is during the morning rush. Help your child learn responsibility by expecting him/her to clean out his backpack and show you folders or forms that need to be returned to school.

FOOD SERVICE and NUTRITION
The 2010 Nutrition and Physical Activity Report Cards for Pulaski County Schools shows that new health initiatives – more whole grains and more fresh fruits and vegetables are meeting goals designed to improve the health of students.
For the small price of $2.00 at the middle and high schools, $1.50 at the elementary schools, or 40 cents reduced, meals are healthier and provide more nutritious choices than ever before. “By offering healthier choices for students such as low fat milk, more whole grain bread products and more fresh fruits and vegetables, we are educating them in nutritional awareness,” said food service director, Lucille Hudson. “They will go home and ask for more salads, fruits and vegetables, and hopefully be more willing to try new foods.” (read more)
