Schedules and Homeroom
It was wonderful to see many of you during the schedule pick-up event! You might have noticed that the homeroom placements were not included on your student's schedule. We have been working to finish these placements. While the schedules themselves remain unchanged, we have updated each student's homeroom information on ProgressBook, and it is now viewable for them to see. In the event that your student is unable to access this information, we will have physical lists posted on the library windows and in the commons area on the first day of school. Our staff will also be available to provide guidance and assistance. We are eagerly anticipating a fantastic school year in 2023-2024!

Bus Route Information
Bus route information became available on the district website on Tuesday, August 8th. It can be found by clicking on the link below:
Our district's online system will give you up-to-date information on your student's bus schedule. To find your stop and bus times, please put in the street number, street name (no abbreviations).
If your address has a directional notation (N/S/E/W) please use it when entering your address. If your stop does not come up, then try it without. Also, if you live on a State Route, omit the word STATE and just use Route as the name (example: 123 Route 48).
THESE ROUTES CAN CHANGE DAILY! PLEASE RE-CHECK YOUR BUS TIMES THE NIGHT BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS AS THERE MAY BE CHANGES BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.

Drop Off & Pick Up
Please see the map below for student drop off and pick up. We kindly ask that you follow the green arrows and not cut through the lot as we have staff and students walk through the parking lot and this can present a safety issue.
In the morning, it is also important to drop off students once you arrive at the sidewalk and not wait to get all the way to the front door. This will allow more kids to begin coming in and significantly speed up the drop off line. Thank you in advance for your attention to this!
