Getting your child/ren to and from school safely while making sure they have a fun day is our top priority. Here are a couple requests to help us make that happen:
- You can monitor your child's bus location by downloading the "Versatrans My Stop" app onto your phone. Your username is your child's student ID number which is how they log on to the computer or purchase lunch. You can also find it in ParentVue. The password is your child's birthday. It will need two digits for the month, day, and four for the year. For example, if your child's birthday is January 3, 2012 you would type 01032012 for the password.
- Please send your child to school the way that they will usually come to school - even on the first day. We know it is tempting to drive them, but please put them on the bus if they will be a bus rider so we can verify our bus rosters.
- Please do not make any transportation changes for the first two weeks unless it is an absolute necessity. We are trying to get our staff and students into a nice routine. If you do need to make a transportation change, it must be done by 3:15 pm by calling the office or sending a note with your child. Do NOT email your child's teacher with a transportation change. They will be with your children during the day including eating lunch with them and will not be checking e-mail.
- Remember: everything will be slower the first couple of weeks with transportation, so please plan on parent pick-up taking longer and the buses arriving home a little bit later than they will once we get rolling.
- Most importantly - thank you for your patience. It is definitely a team effort to dismiss 700 students in 10 minutes and get them all safely to the correct location!
A few gentle reminders for the first week of school:
- Our teachers will be eating lunch with our students and we ask that visitors hold off on joining us until the third week of school. We would love to have you after those first two weeks!
- On the first day of school, you will need to give hugs and kisses as you put your child on the bus or in the car as you drop them off at parent drop off. We have staff and volunteers ready to walk your children to class and make sure they make it safely to class.
Sincerely,
Kristin Tait
Proud Principal

Medical Management Plans
If your child needs a Medical Management Plans for an allergy or chronic medical issue, please print one off, have it completed by a doctor, and bring it to our school nurse as soon as possible.
Mark your calendars for our Back to School Night:
