Bus Drop off and Pick Up
In an effort to increase safety, all students will board and exit the bus in front of Walker School on 78th Ave. This change is the first step of a larger change for student drop off that will be implemented for the 2024-25 school year.
As a reminder, when the bus lights are flashing and the sign is out, please do not pass the bus. Thank you.

Notes from the Nurse
Hello Walker Families,
Registration packets went home to all incoming 2nd and 6th graders. Please make your physician appointments now. All required medical forms are due before the first day of the 24-25 school year.
Remember to renew all action plans and medication authorization forms for students who require these forms for the 24-25 school year. Blank forms can be found using the health services link below or stop in the health office.
Refer to the attached letter of when to keep your child at home as well as how to inspect your child's hair for possible lice. This should be done frequently throughout the school year.
