During the first two weeks of school, we ask parents to have students ready for the bus a few minutes early and to anticipate some delays at the end of the day. Once we "get the bugs out," the schedule should be consistent.
PARENTS: Please be aware, that your child will not be released to anyone other than those listed on our registration, unless we are notified by a note or phone call. All families need to be sure that the child's registration is accurate.
