Courtesy forms are available in the office or online. Courtesy forms will be reviewed at the end of September once all eligible riders and space is confirmed. Be sure to make alternate transportation arrangements for fall if you are a past courtesy rider. We expect space will continue to be limited on the Purple bus route.
Class Assignments – Class assignments will be communicated to families via the Parent Portal during the week of August 26.
School Supplies – On the first day, students will be provided with supplies (pencils, markers, rulers, etc) by the school. Families may send a few extras, however, this is not required. Individual teachers may request specific items.
