ESE Parent University

We are working with FLDRS to have an ESE “Parent University” this school year.

This is a series of Saturday sessions that will cover a multitude of topics to assist parents in understanding the ESE process, their role and their rights as a parent of a student with special needs.

Please see Flyer for first session August 24th.

PTO PASTA PARTY

Don’t miss our annual PTO Pasta Party, to be held in the cafeteria on Tuesday, August 27 at 6:00 pm. This beginning-of-the-year tradition has become popular for meeting new friends and getting reacquainted with old, while enjoying a tasty Italian dinner and learning about the events planned for this year by our PTO . Childcare will be provided during the meeting.

Bus Update

We want to once again apologize for bus routes last week. We are confident that after yesterday and today, things are back up to as close to normal as possible. There are a handful of individual cases that the transportation department continues to work on—and these will be remedied very soon.

The call centers for both general and ESE issues will cease operations at 6:00pm today.

If you have any questions moving forward, please contact the bus compound(s) directly using the following numbers:

For all bus routes that start with the number 1, call the Appleyard Compound at 488-7572.

For all bus routes that start with the number 2, call the Connor-Lakes Compound at 922-6701.

And for all bus routes that start with the number 3, call the Cox Compound at 922-6727.

Again, thank you for your patience over the previous seven school days. Have a wonderful school year.
