Exciting News!!! Yearbook distribution is TODAY!

We have a limited quantity of softcover yearbooks to sell on a first come first served basis for $35.

SALES BEGIN on TUESDAY.

Students who wish to purchase must have exact change or a check made out to Kersey Creek.

An announcement will be made for students to come to the foyer to purchase AFTER morning announcements on TUESDAY.

By request of the Diamond staff, the security company is really enforcing the rules this year.

* ALL bags must be clear or no larger than 5" x 7. Diaper bags and medical bags ARE excluded from this rule.

* NO outside food allowed. The DO allow empty reusable water bottles...but they MUST be empty. There are fill stations inside the Diamond.

*Come as early as possible to allow time to get through the security gates.

*The Diamond is cashless. A reverse ATM is inside as well as one concession and Squirrel store access cash.

Below is a link to the website for more tips and rules. The above ones are ones I felt most important with getting into the gate.

While we still have several weeks left in this school year, our team is already planning for the upcoming school year and we need your help. To help us plan the most efficient routes possible while not restricting service, please carefully review the below options that apply to your family and follow the steps provided. All transportation service requests must be submitted by Friday, June 9. Please review the statements below, select the one that most closely aligns with your student’s situation, and follow the instructions provided.

My student currently receives transportation service and will need service next year.

1. Log in to PowerSchool (review this document for more information on logging in).
2. Visit your student’s PowerSchool page.
3. Click on transportation on your student’s PowerSchool page (bus icon on the bottom left-hand side).
4. If your student has a bus assignment in PowerSchool, they are considered pre-registered for transportation service for the 2023-24 school year and you do not need to do anything further. These students will be provided home-to-school-to-home services based on your current address (if you move over the summer, please update your information with your school and submit a transportation request via this form).
5. If your student does not have a bus assignment in PowerSchool, please complete this form.

In addition to the above steps, please note the following:

• If your student currently receives transportation service to an after-school program or daycare facility, you must submit an Alternate Bus Stop Request via this form. These requests are reviewed annually. All requests for morning or evening changes must be for all five days of the school week. Additionally, please note that we can only accommodate an Alternate Bus Stop Request if there is space available on an existing bus route. A list of daycare facilities that the department provides transportation to can be obtained from your school.
• If you are submitting an Alternate Bus Stop Request for a student who will be a kindergartener, first grader, or second grader next year, you must complete this form and return it to your child’s home school.
• Families of students who have special education transportation identified in their IEP and require specialized transportation services must still reach out to their school to initiate the process of setting up Special Transportation Services.
• If your student attends a specialty program or specialty school such as ACA, the Health Sciences Specialty Center, or CodeRVA, you must submit a transportation request using this form.

As a reminder, all transportation requests for next school year must be submitted by Friday, June 9. For more information, please visit the transportation webpage on the HCPS website.
