Never Forget.



Sister Lakes families, if your student rides BUS #4 please disregard our previous message, it will now arrive on time.

Sister Lakes families, if your student rides on BUS #4 it is running about 10-15 minutes late this morning.

Reminder: Picture Day is tomorrow!




We hope that everyone has had a great first week of school. Here are a few reminders, and we hope that you enjoy your long weekend. Welcome Back!



ATTENTION! If your student rides on BUS #4 it will now be BUS #9 today. This bus is running 20 minutes behind schedule due to mechanical issues. Despite the delay, the bus will make all scheduled stops. If you do not want to wait, we encourage you to take your student to school. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and we thank you for understanding.
