At the recent Levy Community Forum, one of the questions we received was whether we could provide a short summary of the information that was shared about the levy coming up on November 4th.
To help with that, we’ve created a one page document (front and back) that outline the key points of the levy and what it means for our district.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We appreciate the continued support and engagement from our community as we work together to provide the best facilities and opportunities for our students.


October 20th through 24th is National School Bus Safety Week. This Year's Theme is " Safe Stops. Stronger Communities." That said, we ask you to always be on the lookout for our students as they wait for the bus in the morning, or exit the bus in the evening.
Of particular importance, are those students who must cross the roadway in front of the bus. We ask you as parents, to support our drivers by reminding your children never to attempt to cross in front of the bus without making eye contact with the driver, and waiting for him/her to signal it is safe to proceed. Children also need to know that if the driver blows the horn, that means DANGER, STOP , and establish eye contact with the driver for further direction.
On a personal note: I would just like to share what alarms me and the other bus drivers almost as much as someone "Blowing through our Red Lights" when the bus is stopped. The number of distracted drivers we pass. I invite you to do your own personal survey. Take a look at 10 different on coming drivers and keep track how many had their head in their phone, or phone on the steering wheel, or head turned away looking at their "Hands Free" device.................pretty disturbing isn't it?................. it only takes 1. Before cell phones and pagers.....it could wait.........it can still wait...............
Please....... Be Safe.
