Due to the possibility of hazardous weather tomorrow, Friday, December 5th, and out of an abundance of caution, Schools will be closed and the day will be a remote day for students. One day's worth of homework is being sent home for students to complete and return once schools are back in session. Tomorrow will also be a remote work day for all twelve-month employees. Maintenance staff, please contact your direct supervisor for any additional information. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

School Board Update | July 28, 2025

This week kicks off our annual bus driver training and safety meetings. The Transportation Department is leading four sessions to accommodate over 100 of our dedicated bus and car drivers, dividing them into smaller groups for a full day of focused training.

We are incredibly grateful for the commitment and care our current drivers bring to the job each day. However, we are still in urgent need of additional drivers, especially substitutes.

If you or someone you know is interested in making a positive impact in our schools and community, please consider joining our transportation team.

Safe transportation starts with great people, and we’re hiring!
