School Lunch Deliveries
Prep Families,
It has come to my attention that there have been some of your scholars may not have received their lunch deliveries. I understand this can be an inconvenience. I kindly request that you try to email the teacher well in advance that morning to let them know that you will be bringing lunch for your scholars. This is to ensure that our teachers' instruction is not being interrupted by phone calls from the front office about lunches.
Respectfully.

Dropping Off Kindergarten-2nd Grade Students
Parents or a documented designee must be at the bus stop to receive students ranging from Pre-Kindergarten to 2nd grade. If no one is there to receive the student, the student will be returned to the campus.
It is the responsibility of the parent to see that students who are returned to school are picked up. Any student returned three times will have his or her riding privileges suspended for the remainder of the school year.
Designated Stop/Changes
Students will be picked up and dropped off at the student’s designated bus stop. Only one location for pick-up and drop-off will be allowed.
BUS STUDENT CONDUCT REMINDER
Consequences for Violation of Conduct:
The school bus is an extension of the classroom and campus, and discipline will be administered by campus administrators. All school board policies that apply to student conduct and other student-related activities apply to the school bus.
The driver may pull the bus over and stop to safely manage student behavior.
- If the student refuses to comply with a reasonable request, the driver will report the incident to the Assistant Director or Director upon returning to the Transportation Department.
- The Operations Supervisor shall investigate the incident and notify the driver of the action taken.
Note: In the case of serious misconduct that endangers the safety of other students or the driver, the student(s) may be removed from the bus by any school official or law enforcement official.
The district has updated our Academic Calendar for the upcoming school year. Spring Break has been changed. Spring Break will now be observed from March 10-14, 2025, moving up one week earlier from the previously scheduled dates of March 17-21, 2024.
