Tomorrow is the day that everyone has
been waiting for!
1st day of school for the
17-18 year. Don’t forget that the busses
will run at 12:20 tomorrow.
Help us start
the school year smoothly!!! If your
child needs to be dropped off someplace other than where they were picked
up—please indicate so in writing. If the drop off is consistently the
same throughout the year, you can write a note for the year. We will accept last minute changes but prefer
no calls or e-mails after 2:00pm.
Please keep in mind that some of
our busses are already running at full capacity and may not be able to accept
extra students. However, we will do the best we can to
accommodate your requests.
