With 32 buses transporting students, it is necessary to dismiss the buses in multiple waves. Below you will find the list of the bus routes that fall into each category.
Riverwatch routes are typically listed on the side of buses as 330__. The 330 shows that they are headed to Riverwach and then the Route number is the last 2 digits. The bus routes are listed below.

Quarter 1 Schedule
Exams - For your Planning Purposes
Students will take mid-term exams on December 16, 17, and 18. If students are absent one of those days, but are present on December 19, they will make up any missing exams that day. If they are absent during mid-terms and do not return before the Winter Break, mid-term exams will be made up on January 7, 2020.
Students will take final exams on May 20, 21, and 22. If students are absent one of those days, final exams will be made up on Tuesday, May 26, 2020. In situations where a family emergency or religious holiday is the cause for the absence, parents may work with their child’s counselor to determine a date for makeup exams other than May 26.
