As always, the safety and well-being of our students remain our top priority. We appreciate your understanding and support. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

MIDDLE SCHOOL MENITORS: Starting this week, we will be starting our middle school mentors program, in which middle school students will be seated alongside younger students to help foster positive behavior and build leadership skills. This change comes as part of our efforts to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all riders, following some recent concerns about escalating behaviors.
By encouraging older students to model kindness and responsibility, we aim to create a more positive and welcoming experience for everyone on the bus. Thank you for your support as we work together to promote safety, respect, and leadership!
