Drive safe! School is back in session
Students are returning to classrooms this week by car, bus, bike and feet! Please be extra careful as you drive through neighborhoods or near schools and watch out for our kids.
When school is in session there is extra traffic around our buildings, especially during drop off time each morning and during pick up time in the afternoon. With road construction going on across the district, this may cause additional traffic delays. Thank you for your patience and extra vigilance during these times.
Thank you also to our local government partners for providing sidewalks and roadways that keep our students safe, and continuing to work with our district to provide the safest options possible for our students.
