STEP IT UP FUNDRAISER
The Step it Up fundraiser was a HUGE success!
Lee Elementary received a check for over $18,000 dollars helping us reach our funding goal for new playground equipment. Most importantly, the students had so much fun getting prizes and incentives throughout the duration of the fundraiser. April 17th marked the Day of Awesomeness where the students were treated to inflatable mazes, music, Kona Ice and so much more as a way to celebrate their fundraising efforts. A big THANK YOU to all of the volunteers and staff that worked behind the scenes to make this such a great fundraising event for the students and school!
LIBRARY BOOKS ARE DUE

ZPass Plus
Safety is the top priority within our commitment to providing safe and efficient transportation to over
75,000 students every day. A crucial part of this service is knowing when and where each child gets on and off the school bus. ZPass allows parents to receive notifications when their child enters and exits the school bus.
How ZPass Works
Students place their ZPass Multipurpose Card in front of the card reader as they enter and exit the school bus.
The card reader emits an audible beep confirming the card was read.
The time, date and location of where the student gets on and off the bus are immediately recorded to a secure database, accessible only by transportation and school officials.
Parents can sign up for instant notifications, via push or cell phone text messaging and/or email.
Parents can sign up for notifications by going to https://www.zpassplus.com/. ZPass + app is available at Google Play and the App Store.
Badge replacement fees: $3.00 for bus badge and $1.00 for lanyard.
