Parents, I am happy to announce that we will be able to offer school bus transportation for the 2024-2025 school year. However, we have the bare minimum for bus drivers and are still in need of another part-time driver. If you have any interest in becoming a bus driver, please contact the school. We also want you to be aware that at any time, we may have to cancel routes if something unforeseen happens to one of our current drivers. For example, if there were a long-term illness or injury that prevented them from driving. Please make sure you have a plan in place, just in case the unforeseen should happen. Mr. Hawkins
