Transportation
Middle School and High School Parent/Guardian Drivers:
Wildcat Drive is a busy place between 7:20 to 7:35 a.m. and again at 2:25 to 2:45 p.m.!
Since our return from winter break we have had some pretty tense moments.
Please be cautious, kind, and aware of pedestrians, cars, and our buses.
Pedestrians have the right of way, and if at all possible, let the buses out as they have to get back to town to pick up the elementary students.
Thank you!
