Community Service-Legos for Our Heroes

    

New Note from the Transportation Director: The Board of Education is required to provide transportation services to K-8 pupils living more than two miles from school and 9-12 students living more than two and one-half miles from school. In the event a parent/guardian of a pupil eligible for transportation services wishes to waive transportation services for that school year, a transportation services waiver form should be completed and submitted. If circumstances change during the school year due to a family or economic hardship, transportation services can be reinstated. Please visit the transportation department on the district website for the waiver form.

  

Note from the Transportation DirectorBeginning Monday, May 7, traffic on Old Fort Road will be reduced to one lane as contractors begin construction for sidewalk installation.  Most school buses that use Old Fort Road will be detoured. 

Many children from all three schools use that road to walk to and from home.  With the addition of construction equipment and vehicles, it will be even more congested.  Please use extreme caution if you choose to drive on Old Fort Road.  Detouring around that road would be preferable.  Please remind your children who walk on that road to be extra cautious during this phase of construction.
