2019-2020 Sky Ranch Camp Payments Update
Hi 4th grade families!
The Spaghetti Dinner was so much fun and the students did a great job as the set up crew, hosts and servers. The proceeds from the evening reduced the cost of camp for every student from $150 to $130. Thank you to everyone that supported and helped with this fundraising event.
Camp is a little over 5 months away! Payments should be started now and continued to be made throughout the summer as the final payment will be due on August 30, 2019. You may at anytime make the full payment of $130 or make payments over time.
You will use the links below to make each of your payments. If starting payments now, monthly is $32.50 or bi-monthly is $16.25. We will also send out reminders throughout the summer for the camp payments.

School Time Changes for 2019-2020 School Year
School start and end times will change for the 2019-2020 school year as Allen ISD moves to a new transportation schedule.
Beginning next fall, Allen ISD school buses will run three routes each morning and afternoon instead of two. The three-tiered system will provide more flexibility in scheduling drivers and transporting students to programs such as the new STEAM Center.
The 2019-2020 bell schedule will be:
Elementary Schools: 7:45 a.m. – 2:55 p.m.
Middle Schools: 8:20 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Lowery Freshman Center: 8:45 a.m. – 4:05 p.m
Allen High School: 8:50 a.m. – 4:10 p.m.
High school times may vary based on student schedules.
Three factors led to the change, according to Daniel Pitcock, assistant superintendent for operations. “Increases in ridership, an ongoing shortage of drivers and the opening of special programs such as STEAM have required us to look at a different schedule.”
Allen ISD is the only large school district in the area combining middle and high school students on the same routes, he added. "The current two-tier system requires more drivers and is less efficient than running three separate routes."
Pre-K Registration is Underway!
