Before our Thanksgiving break, Mrs. Huffar's 4th grade Bulldogs brought fun and energy to the elementary through their Thanksgiving mini plays! From reading fluency and expressive speaking, to teamwork and problem solving, these students combined creativity with core learning skills, and we're here for it!

New Transportation Change Policy
Effective December 15th, 2025, all requests for a change in your student's usual afternoon transportation (such as an emergency pick-up or switching to a car rider) must be received by the school office no later than 1:30 PM on the day of the change.
1:30 PM Notification: If we do not receive notification before 1:30 PM, we may not be able to safely accommodate the request.
Safety Rationale: Knowing precisely where our students are designated for transportation (bus, car, walker) is a high priority for afternoon dismissal coordination. A firm deadline allows us the critical time needed to communicate changes accurately to teachers, bus drivers, and dismissal staff.
Emergency Protocol
We understand that genuine emergencies and unforeseen circumstances happen. If a change is absolutely necessary after the 1:30 PM deadline due to a significant, unavoidable emergency, please call the school office immediately. The office staff will connect you directly with one of our School Administrators who will then coordinate with you to try and find an appropriate solution. Please understand that after the 1:30 PM deadline, solutions may be limited.
