SACS DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS 8-23-2023

Please take a moment to look over the bus routes. Buses leave school at 7:00am and return to school at 7:30am. With that being said, there are only approximate times. We must take into consideration traffic, number of students that get on, on any certain day, construction, weather, train, etc. As the weeks progress you will be able to get a roundabout time that your bus will be at your stop.

Reminder: the buses depart school at 2:35pm and typically are done their routes by 3:00pm. (Wednesdays they depart at 1:35pm)

There will be some changes to arrival and dismissal procedures for this school year. Students that are being dropped off will need to do so in the front of the building. There will be signs and staff to help direct students. Staff will be present to direct traffic and students to the appropriate place to arrive in their classrooms. All bus riders will arrive and depart from the rear of the building. We ask, for safety, that families respect the staff directing traffic and adhere to these measures. The attached maps should be helpful with the new drop off and pick up procedures.

The florescent lights in classrooms, offices and meeting spaces have been exchanged for LED lights. These provide the same light quality, use much less energy and last longer before being replaced.

Earlier in the summer a ramp was poured for those in wheel chairs or delivery people bringing packages to the school. Railings were added to the ramp last week.

Lots more rubber was added to make playground spills safer. The wave, a long time favorite in the playground, finally died and was removed. 🥵 Concrete boxes were placed along the side of the playground and field to help prevent people from driving out into the soccer fields. A new tetherball was added to replace the ones damaged or lost over the summer.
