An active student is a successful student

With the school year approaching, a wide variety of fall extracurricular activities are scheduled to begin in the coming weeks. I would strongly encourage all students to get involved in an activity. Participating in an extracurricular activity has tremendous benefits. Research studies have demonstrated that students involved in extracurricular activities have higher rates of academic achievement and are more likely to graduate from high school. In addition to the academic benefits, extracurricular activities teach valuable life lessons such as commitment, teamwork, leadership, and the acceptance of a role. Encourage a child to participate in an extracurricular activity. Activities are a critical component of providing a well-rounded education.

Last call for bus pass purchases and ridership notification! The deadline for purchasing a bus pass or notifying the Transportation Department of ridership is Friday, July 29. Students whose passes are purchased, or ridership confirmed after the deadline will be eligible for transportation no earlier than Monday, Oct. 3.

Safely, efficiently, and effectively transporting nearly 2,000 students requires substantial planning. We greatly appreciate our families’ timely cooperation with the purchase of bus passes and ridership notification.
