BUS RIDERS- IMPORTANT ! ! ! BUS RIDERS- IMPORTANT ! ! !

zoom_out_map

This is a reminder that all students who ride the bus must scan their smart ID when getting on and off the bus. Students who fail to scan their IDs, as directed by the district, will receive a disciplinary referral.

If your child needs an additional ID, please email their homeroom teacher to request a new one. Note that there will be a fee for the new ID, which must be paid through Pay&Go.


Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Please save the date for our upcoming Learning Celebrations! These special events will showcase the hard work and achievements of our students. We encourage you to join us to celebrate their growth and success. Please be sure to check the updated dates and times for each grade-level event, as there have been some adjustments.


***All celebrations will take place in the classrooms, with the exception of the 5th-grade celebration, which will be held in the gym this year.


*Also, be on the lookout for Pre-Raptor forms with more information, which will be sent home at the beginning of May.


*School aged children MAY not attend learning celebrations, this includes high school students exempt from finals.


We look forward to celebrating with you!
