School safety is always paramount and of utmost concern for us. With construction going on around the campus, we have a few extra areas to keep an eye on. You can help us keep our kids safe by please reviewing and following the drop off/pick up guidance sent out last week by our building principals. The first few days of any school year are always new for everyone and we appreciate everyone's assistance and grace in putting our student's safety first and having extra patience as we navigate our new routines.
In addition, we thank everyone on the roads in advance for having a little extra patience and keeping your eyes out for our school buses, district vehicles, and our students. We are blessed and thankful to have these 13 individuals take on the responsibility of keeping our students safe this school year on our buses: Ron Ackerman, Neil Atkins, James Groth, Brett Johnson, John Mohr, Georgenea Nickum, Chris Olson, Zachary Patton, Paul Peacock, Cheryl Shelton, Les Thomas, Cathleen Weber and Scott Kaiser.
With your continued support, we can continue to do our best to keep our students safe for another great school year!
