Please keep in mind that the bus schedule is an approximation and that times may vary as we get familiar with the new routes. The front doors (door # 13) will open at 7:55 AM every day. If you arrive before 7:55 please wait in the line that flows through the bus lane. Dismissal is at 3:10 PM on M, T, TH,F. We have a 2:15 dismissal every Wednesday. At the end of the day we ask that cars form two line between the rows of parking. Please do NOT block the bus lane. We will load and dismiss the busses first. Once the busses have cleared the parking lot, we will dismiss the car riders.
Thank you to all of those who came to our supply drop off and downloaded the Dimmick 175 app and connected to the "rooms" feature. This is how we will be communicating throughout the school year. If you have not downloaded the app and connected to "rooms" yet, please do so as soon as possible. Be sure to use your phone number when you sign up.
