Hey parents! Looking for after school care or something for the kids to do after school? The Milroy Boys & Girls Club is here for you! We have programs like Healthy Habits, VR, Life Skills, and Workforce and Development that we do everyday!

Also, a note from Mr. Jameson:

"There will be no "guest bus passes" for any students on Rush County School buses. Students will not be allowed to take friends home with them on the bus for a party or sleepover."

Please talk with your child about bus safety and how it is important to sit in the seat properly, keep hands and feet inside the aisle, and to follow the expectations we have in place. I've explained to all students that the bus driver's job is to get them to and from school safely. However, they need to do their job as well and follow the rules.

Students are to only ride the bus assigned to him/her. We are not able to allow students to "bus hop" and ride home with friends, etc. Thanks for your help with this.
