The school was notified by the bus company that today's afternoon buses will all run their normal routes with the exception of Bus#3 running approximately 20 minutes late. If you need to make other arrangements to pick up your child please contact the school.
Our apologies for all these bus issues but we do see it getting better with each school day :)

We have been notified that we will be down one bus for today's dismissal. We will only have buses 2, 3 and 4 running. Many students have been reassigned to another bus. Your student's arrival time home today will be different. Bus #3 will be leaving at least 30 minutes late from the school. If you will be making other dismissal arrangements for your child/children today, please contact the office. Thank you for your continued patience with our buses.

8th grade started out the year working on an activity to prove math is everywhere! They choose a profession to draw a picture of and explain how math is involved in that profession. The goal was to prove math is everywhere!
