Bus #275 is not running for the afternoon of May 22, 2023

Today is School Nurse Day, a day dedicated to honoring and recognizing the contributions of school nurses in providing quality healthcare to students in schools. School nurses are crucial in promoting the health and well-being of students, staff, and their families. They provide various services, including health screenings, first aid, medication administration, and health education. They also serve as a liaison between the school, families, and healthcare providers to ensure students receive the appropriate care they need to thrive academically and physically. On School Nurse Day, schools and communities are encouraged to show their appreciation for our school nurses. #SchoolNursesRock

Yearbooks will come in during late September or early October of the next school year. The fee to purchase the yearbook is $35.00. Purchases will be made through the yearbook company link attached. https://www.yearbookordercenter.com/job/11025 Purchases must be made by June 30th. Thank you.
