The Transportation Department is getting Smart Tag ready for implementation for the new school year. Our goal is to have special needs and elementary students online before the end of this school year. All parents of Pre-K, kindergarten, and first graders must be registered in the Smart Tag parent app, and each student must have a bus tag to scan into the school bus. Smart tags will be passed out to Coble Students this week and be available on regular routes. All riders will be expected to have a Smart Tag badge to scan on and off their school bus.

Dear Parents/Guardians:

State law requires that all public schools hold annual health screenings for students. We will be screening students on November 6, 2024. Students will be screened for Hearing, Vision, and Acanthosis Nigricans (a visual marker that may indicate possible signs of type 2 diabetes) in grade levels PK, KG 1, 3, 5, 7 and all New to District students. Please ensure that your child is wearing his/her eyeglasses/contacts to school daily.

Female students in grade levels 5 and 7 and males in grade 8 will be screened for Scoliosis (a curvature of the spine). Boys and girls will be screened separately.

If further evaluation by your doctor is needed, parents will be notified in writing. Please note that these screenings do not replace your child’s need for regular health care and check-ups. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you for your cooperation,
