Families of Bus Riders
A ParentSquare message went out this week to all families with students in bus zones. The message includes a form to register for next year’s bus transportation.
Please fill out the form (it’s short!) even if your student will NOT ride the bus. This helps First Student create the most efficient bus routes.
Questions? Call your school’s office.
PTA Food and Clothing Drive
MSD PTAs and PTSAs are working together to mount a clothing and food drive to replenish the Family Resource Center pantries before summer.
Items can be dropped off at any elementary or middle school from April 24 - May 5.
See the flyer below for guidelines on needed donations. Thank you, PTAs!
