Bus 88 students will be split among the remaining buses this afternoon, February 20th. This will likely cause delays for all buses. Thank you for your patience.
The bus for 88 this morning is leaving the school now to come get students. It's bus 192.
The driver for bus 88 is out today. Bus 192 will pick them up after their first route. This means the route for bus 88 will be about an hour behind. Bus 192 will be normal time. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Tomorrow is the last chance to register your student early for our upcoming AWE Read-a-Thon and guarantee your student gets to personalize their event bookmark. The Google Form takes just a minute! awepto.org/awereads
