Some staff have created a classroom wish list for additional items they'd love to use with students. If you're interested in ways to offer a helping hand to your child's teacher, feel free to check them out here:

Our bus drivers were busy practicing their new routes this morning to ensure maximum safety and efficiency. Not sure where your stop is? Be on the lookout for these helpful signs throughout the neighborhoods.

bus signs
All families who registered their student(s) and requested bus transportation by the end of the day on Friday, August 1st, have been successfully placed on a bus route. Letters detailing bus stop locations and approximate pick-up and drop-off times were mailed on Friday.

For families who registered after August 1st, a letter will not be sent via mail. Instead, all transportation information for these students and all other students will be shared with families at Back-to-School Night tonight. Homeroom teachers will distribute these letters.
