IT IS GETTING DARK
Please remember as it is getting dark in the morning to talk with your student about reflective clothing and being aware at bus stops of other cars. It is important that we are all extra aware during this time of year.
Mrs. Witthus, our health teacher, will be supporting students with reflective tape and a zipper pole. This tape will be placed on backpacks and jackets!
Bus Service Reinstatement
We hope to have all routes back in service soon, get the most up to date information on buses here: https://www.asdk12.org/Page/5419
