Dear Parents and Guardians,

I want to sincerely apologize for the transportation error that occurred this morning. Due to a miscommunication, a bus route did not run as scheduled this morning. We understand this caused significant inconvenience for many families and disrupted the start of the school day. Thank you for being flexible, making school a priority and bringing your students this morning. We have found a solution for the PM route and it will be running this afternoon.

Please know that we take full responsibility for this mistake. We are reviewing our communication procedures and will get this cleaned up.

We truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and flexibility as we worked through this situation today. Thank you for your continued support of Cotopaxi Schools. Please reach out if you have any concerns or questions.

Sincerely,
Adam Krick

5th Grade is learning about hydroponics and aeroponics in their language arts unit this month. Today they came up with a great idea for a grocery store, and used an AI generator to create images of the concept and even named the store together.

Clear laminated glass or cast acrylic floors allow shoppers to see the root systems of the living plants and fruit trees that they pick their produce from. All the produce is grown hydroponically or aeroponically with nutrient enhanced, reusable water. I hope that I can shop at a Produceponics soon!

Here are a few images they came up with:
