Building strong literacy skills starts at home, and even small moments of reading and learning together can make a big difference. 📚
We encourage families to read together every day. Set aside time to read books, magazines, or other materials your child enjoys.

A moment of distraction behind the wheel can have serious consequences, especially near a school bus. 🚌
During National School Bus Safety Week, we encourage all motorists to take a few simple steps to protect students.
Put your phone away, slow down near bus stops, watch for children crossing the street, and never ignore a bus's flashing red lights or extended stop arm.
Our students' safety is worth the extra attention. Thank you for helping protect them!
