• 9/19 - Bison Fan Day

We ask that you notify the office prior to 3:00 with any transportation changes for students that day.

This timeline allows us to communicate these changes to the teacher, while also supporting the daily routines and processes that occur during this busy part of the day.

Student checkout:

It is difficult to check students out after 3:00 PM. If there is a need to check students out early for an appointment, please avoid the 3:00-3:15 PM timeframe.

Thank you for partnering with us to ensure the safety for all ETMS Bison during dismissal.

Bison Fan Days are the exception.

Dear Caregivers,
