IMPORTANT UPDATED LATE BUS ROUTES
Dear parents/guardians,
As of Monday, November 7th, there will be a change to our Late Bus runs.
This change mainly affects the Island Park neighborhood. Normally these stops are on the Late Bus #11. Effective Monday, November 7th, these stops will be on Late Bus #8.
I have attached the updated Late Bus runs for your convenience. Please discuss these changes with your child as some stops have been moved.
Please remember you need to sign your child up for the late bus everytime they need to ride it.
As always, feel free to call us with any questions.
Sincerely,
JoĂŁo Arruda

FEDERAL FORMS
Federal Forms were sent home this past week.
During each school year, it is necessary to formulate an accurate register of all pupils whose father, mother or guardian works on Federal Property as a member of the Armed Services or as a Civilian working for any company or agency.
It is necessary that a completed and signed form be returned by each child in your household no later than November 22, 2022. A signed form must be returned from each household, for each child, regardless of whether you live on federal property.
If your child needs a new Federal Form, please have them come to the main office.
