Important Update Regarding Afternoon School Bus Routes in Richmond County
Columbia County School Bus Drivers Begin Practicing Routes
Richmond County School System recently announced there has been an important update regarding afternoon school bus routes this week and until further notice.
There is currently a bus driver shortage in the afternoons, so students will now arrive home later than usual.
Drivers will now have to start completing multiple routes to get students to their evening destination.
Another thing to note is your child’s driver may not be their usual afternoon driver.
For support and to answer questions, you can reach their call center at (706) 796-4777.
5 Physical Activities in Augusta That are Tailored Towards Homeschooled Kids to Keep Them Active
Are your kids homeschooled but you want a way for them to participate in art, P.E., music, and sports?
Sometimes with homeschooling, it’s easy to go through the regular academic work assignments and forget to put in that needed exercise. At most public schools, a full class is dedicated solely to some type of physical activity. Whether that is walking, dodgeball, running, etc.
Luckly, there are many CSRA activities that are geared towards kids who are homeschooled. This can easily accomplish the physical activity part of the day.
Kids must indulge in some physical activity for at least one hour every day. Implementing regular physical activities improves muscle strength and boosts endurance.
Establishing a consistent physical workout schedule during the homeschooling day doesn’t have to be difficult, especially with some of the ideas that are listed below. Physical activities can range from sports, a jog or bike ride around the neighborhood, etc.
For these classes listed below, most have a small number that are able to register for each class. Your kid will then be able to be in a small population setting. They will also have the opportunity for exercise lesson plans to be tailored to them. Not only does this activity have to stay during the school days, but your child may find interest in the activity and want to make it a part of their normal routine at home or a routine hobby.
Physical Activities for Homeschooled Kids in the CSRA
These community classes are also a great way for kids to get physical activities, when the parent or the homeschool instructor is not as physically active. It is also a chance for the kid to meet other kids in their age group. Which can be one of the experiences that may not happen as much since the child is homeschooled.
Check out these options below of upcoming community activities happening in Augusta that is tailored towards homeschooled kids.
See which they enjoy the best!
