Busing: Students must ride their own school bus to and from school and will not be permitted to ride a bus that is not their own except under special circumstances such as a family emergency. Our school buses are full and cannot accommodate students that are not assigned to the bus. As well, for safety and liability reasons, drivers must have an accurate list of students riding the bus in case of an emergency. Thank you for your cooperation with this.

School Cash: Please remember that all permission forms for upcoming events are on school cash online. If you need help please contact the office.
