It has been a few months since we have seen the Big Yellow Buses on the road picking up and dropping off students. As we head back to class, please watch for little ones crossing the road and give this graphic a once-over to make sure you know when you are required to stop to ensure that all students get to school and back home each and every day!
Our next new staff member to spotlight is Maddison Konecne!
