Dear RCS Families,
We want to inform you about a transportation incident that occurred today involving one of our school buses.
On the commute home from school today, September 19, 2025, a bus carrying students from A.W. Becker Elementary was involved in an accident. Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, and school administrators were notified immediately and were also at the scene.
We are relieved to report that no students or the driver were injured, and all students were evaluated at the scene by local EMS. Once evaluated, students were transferred to a new bus and taken home.
As always, the safety and well-being of our students is our top priority. Our transportation staff followed protocol, and we are cooperating fully with law enforcement and emergency responders as they complete their assessment of the incident.
We understand that any news involving student safety is concerning, and we are committed to keeping you informed. If your child was directly involved, you will receive separate communication from the district.
If you have any questions, please contact the RCS Transportation Office at (518) 756-5241. If students at A.W. Becker Elementary need someone to talk to on Monday, there will be counselors made available.
Thank you
