Bus Time Reminder

Please check your bus passes that were provided to families in late August as they originally noted the bus pick up and drop off times for a regular school day. As students follow an early dismissal schedule this year, please remember that students will return home earlier than the time noted on the bus pass by about 2 hours and 20 minutes.
