VATRE
With voter approval, the VATRE would generate $3.7 million annually in local funding and another $3.7 million annually in state funding for staff salaries and campus safety. Without voter approval, the district cannot access the $3.7 million annually in local funding, and likewise the district will not get the $3.7 million annually in state funding to be used for staff salaries and campus safety.
Transportation changes & early check-out
Transportation changes must be completed prior to 3 pm. If you are going to change your child's transportation for dismissal, you must notify the front office. It is helpful if you also notify the teacher.
Early check-out ends at 3pm. If you are picking up your child early for any reason, this must be done by 3pm.

National School Bus Safety Week
Held during the third full week of October each year, National School Bus Safety Week is an active and evolving public education program and an excellent way for parents, students, teachers, motorists, school bus operators, school administrators, and other interested parties - to join forces and address the importance of school bus safety. Designed to promote school bus safety, school districts throughout the country observe School Bus Safety Week.

Clinic Info
Lice: Head lice is common among children. Although not an illness or a disease, head lice spread through head-to-head contact during play, sports, nap time, and when children share things like brushes, combs, hats, and headphones. If observation indicates that a student has head lice, the school nurse will contact the student’s parent to discuss a treatment plan using an FDA-approved medicated shampoo or cream rinse that may be purchased from any drug or grocery store. After the student undergoes one treatment, the parent should contact the school nurse to discuss the treatment used. The nurse can also offer additional recommendations, including subsequent treatments, how best to get rid of lice, and how to prevent lice from returning.
