ERIE HIGH SCHOOL
As we near the end of the 2013-14 school year, I would like to thank you for encourag-
ing your student/s to show up with their bus pass each and every day this past school
year. Doing so has provided our students with a greater level of safety and security.
As explained during initial roll out and distribution, students only receive one free bus
pass. Therefore, your student’s bus passes must be safely stored over the summer
months until the start of the new school year to avoid the cost of a replacement.
Should your student require a replacement pass, please contact the Bus Pass Coordi-nator by sending an email to [email protected] or calling 303-702-7540. The re-placement cost for lost, stolen and/or mutilated bus passes is $5.00 and shows up as fee under your student’s name in Infinite Campus. Sincerely,
Randy McKie
Director of Transportation
SAVE OUR POLLINATORS
THE BEES’ NEEDS STUDY
Did you know that Colorado has more than 900 species of native bees and
over 550 right here in the Front Range? Yes, we do need our Colorado
bees, they assist in pollinating our plants. Without them our plants would
be unable to produce fruits and vegetables. The Bees’ Needs is a study di-
rected by the CU Museum of Natural History to learn more about how our
communities can support bees.
Ms. Gillis's 7th
Grade Science classes will be installing two bee houses on
the school storage building on the north end of the football field. One of
the bee houses has a cut-away side panel where you can observe the wood-
nesting, solitary, native bees. Did you know that bees build nests in tun-
nels to protect their young? Don’t worry, the bees are gentle and won’t
sting. Learn more at http://beesneeds.colorado.edu.
NEEDED – Volunteers to observe the bee houses every other week from June through September. Volunteers will make observations of the activity/nesting in the bee houses, collect data, take photographs, and go to the Bees’ Needs web-site to log the data. This would be a great family activity! You also may be able to get a bee house for your home. Check out the participation section on the
website for more information.
If you are interested in volunteering to collect data from the EMS bee hous-
es or have any questions, contact Beth Gillig at [email protected] .
Please give the dates you would be available to make observations if you
are interesting in volunteering.
Thank you for supporting our Colorado pollinators!
