📢 Important Transportation Update for Families
Parents,
Beginning tomorrow, September 9, our Transportation Department will roll out an upgrade to our bus routing system. 🚌 Each student will receive a school ID card with a lanyard or backpack tag on Tuesday, September 9th during the PM routes.
These IDs are equipped with RFID technology to scan when students board and exit the bus. We will also provide a small instruction handout with the student ID. We ask that all bus riders use these ID cards to scan on and off the buses. 📲 There is an attachment with further details and instructions for My Ride K-12.
Our drivers and Transportation Department have undergone extensive training to prepare for this new system. ✅ While we hope for a smooth start, we want to be transparent that this is a new process and it may take some time to work out all the details. We kindly ask for your patience as we transition. 🙏
🚫 Lastly, this school year our district has seen an increase in requests for students to ride a bus to a friend’s house instead of their assigned pick-up and drop-off. As a district, we will continue our current practice of not allowing bus changes for after-school visits or alternate drop-off requests.
This practice is in place to ensure:
📢 Clear communication with drivers
🪑 Accurate seating and capacity on buses
🛡️ Safe, organized, and consistent transportation for all students
We kindly ask for your understanding and support as we uphold this procedure. 💙💛
Thank you for your partnership in supporting our drivers and Transportation Department. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Come by (at ANY time!) to say hello to Mrs. Marchetti, Mrs. Speed, and Mrs. Boss as they sleep on the roof tonight as promised!

The 4th grade classes have learned about early French Settlements and Life on the Frontier in Missouri History. To continue the fun and learning of early life in Missouri, the kids learn what the life of a pioneer child was like attending a pioneer school, Pioneer games, Civil War Presentation, making and trying homemade pickles, butter and cornbread, enjoying a pioneer lunch, taking care of animals, and planting crops.
