Attention Parents of Bus Riders, We are currently short a bus driver for our afternoon routes. As a result, instead of running our usual three bus routes, we will only be running two today, September 12. This will likely affect regular drop-off times for some students. We apologize for the short notice and appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your cooperation!

Next week, we will be observing Patriots Day on Wednesday, September 11th, and we’d love for all of our students to participate! 🎉 To show our spirit and honor the day, we invite students to dress in red, white, and blue! Let’s fill our school with patriotic pride as we remember and celebrate the heroes of our nation. Thank you for your support, and we can’t wait to see everyone decked out in their patriotic colors! #PatriotsDay #RedWhiteAndBlue
