Amenities Laguna Elementary School

By Alice Spingola Interim Principal

Greetings from Laguna Elementary School! I am delighted to take this opportunity to introduce myself to all of you. My name is Alice Spingola and I am the interim principal of Laguna Elementary School. Dr. Gena Aikman retired at the end of this past school year. Dr. Aikman and her husband, Jerry, have moved to Idaho to spend some quality time with her family who resides in the state.

I have served many roles as an educator for over 30 years, both in Arizona and the Chicago area. No matter the state, town, or school, one element remains consistent- a school’s success is greatest when it has the support and involvement of the parents and community.

Ms. Kristina Kelly, who has previously served as a very talented teacher and assistant principal at Laguna, will once again assume the role of Laguna’s Assistant Principal. Ms. Kelly’s strong commitment and relationships with the Laguna community provide continuity and ensure our strong traditions continue.

Laguna Elementary is a Cognia STEM certified school. This year Laguna students enrolled in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades will receive an additional STEAM elective which will provide students with a more advanced study in the area of coding.

We are very excited to provide our students with many learning opportunities and welcome the community’s support.

Sharing the Road with School Buses www.nsc.org

If you’re driving behind a bus, allow a greater following distance than if you were driving behind a car. It will give you more time to stop once the yellow lights start flashing. It is illegal in all 50 states to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children.

• Never pass a bus from behind – or from either direction if you’re on an undivided road – if it is stopped to load or unload children

• If the yellow or red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, traffic must stop

• The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children; stop far enough back to allow them space to safely enter and exit the bus

• Be alert; children often are unpredictable, and they tend to ignore hazards and take risks
