-Carrying a change of clothes and socks in their backpack is best. Little ones can also keep a change of clothes in their cubby.
-Please remember to supervise children at BUS STOPS to keep everyone SAFE! We have to have an adult at the BUS STOP for the little ones please. the bus driver will only drop our little ones off if they see someone home.
