Entries need to be to Ms. Bogiszewski by Friday, Dec. 22. See more information and the requirements on the Central Heights Enrichment Opportunities Google Classroom.

Bus Delays and Emergencies
Please remember that buses may be slightly delayed when we are experiencing snow and icy conditions. Anything within 5 minutes of the scheduled arrival time is considered “on time.” If your child’s bus is delayed and/or evacuated for any reason (bus breakdown, emergency, etc.) students must stay with the driver and wait for further instructions. If another bus is dispatched students are to ride that bus and only get off at their assigned stop.
