🟠We had a great first day of school across the district today. It was great to see all of our students!

⚫We appreciate the support of our community and the patience of our families as we work through car line drop off, after school pick up, and bus pick up and drop offs today for our 800+ students.

🚌🚗Thank you to our devoted staff for coming early and staying late to assist in transportation coordination.

Elementary Parents I want to start by saying thank you for your patience as we work through the first days of school. Transportation is always tricky the first few days. This year we transitioned transportation information to the Online Enrollment. If you want your child to ride somewhere OTHER than what was put on online enrollment, OR you have split households and kids going more than one place, I encourage you to call the Elementary Office tomorrow and confirm what we have in our School Pass. We want to make this as painless as possible for everyone involved! Again I apologize for any inconveniences and thank you for your patience. -Mr. Barry
