Good evening. Thank you to our staff, students, and parents for a successful first few days of school. The transportation department has been working on making any necessary revisions to routes. Some of those revisions may have altered some pick up and drop off times. Therefore Skyward has been updated to reflect any changes that may have been made due to those route adjustments. We ask that you review this information in Skyward Family Access to ensure that you have the most updated times for Monday. We appreciate your assistance with this. If you have any questions, please contact your building principal or the transportation department. Have a great weekend.
