AL Acquires Four New Buses | |
Dear AL Community,
Yesterday, we welcomed four new school buses, marking a big step in our commitment to provide safe and reliable transportation for our students.
This decision, approved by the board, addresses the challenges we faced with our contracted bus service, First Student, which could not fully cover the needs of our Cherry building due to a driver shortage.
All the four buses passed the state inspection today. Soon, we will be running five routes to serve both Armour and Cherry students effectively. To ensure smooth transportation, we hired an additional driver who will not only handle daily routes but also support field trips and school activities.
This move is all about making sure all our students, especially those facing transportation difficulties, have the support they need. We believe this will help reduce student absences and tardiness, giving every child a better chance to excel.
We are looking forward to a smoother transportation experience for our families!
Have a good weekend.
Elimane Mbengue

HealtheKids Program Information | |
HealtheKids screenings will be conducted at all campuses next week: 10/2-3 (Oak), 10/4 (Armour), and 10/5-6 (Cherry). Consents for this program were provided upon (re)enrollment for your child.
A brightly colored large envelope will be sent home with your child a day or two after the screenings are completed for your campus. In the event that your child did not pass a particular area, there will be a form for parents to fill out and return to the school regarding how that issue has been handled by your family or doctors office. Please return those as soon as possible when you have followed up on any abnormal findings.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your campus nurse.
