Supe’s On: Time to buy bus passes, summer lunch program coming to a close

Bus passes must be purchased by the Aug. 9 deadline for your child to ride school district transportation during the first two weeks of school. The Transportation Department will be holding an Open House on Thursday, July 27 and Friday, July 28 at the Brandon Valley Transportation Facility from 4-8 p.m. If you plan to utilize district provided transportation, please purchase your bus pass on-line at the webmall or at the transportation facility prior to the deadline. Successfully transporting over 1,800 children daily requires substantial planning and we appreciate your timely cooperation regarding the purchase of bus passes! 

As summer winds down, so does the Summer Lunch Program. Friday, July 28 is the last day for meals to be served at the Summer Lunch Program at Brandon Elementary. Overall, it has been a successful pilot year with over 9,000 child meals served to date. I want to thank our CNS employees for making the program possible and the great work over the course of the summer!

We are working to wrap-up and finalize many maintenance and improvement projects throughout the district prior to the start of the school year. Progress continues at the Middle School with the construction of additional classroom spaces (Smart Lab and music) and a new high-functioning secure entrance. The classroom spaces are scheduled to be operational for the start of school and the remainder of the project will be finalized by late October. Our number one priority is student safety. As construction is finalized throughout the fall, we will make certain students and staff have a safe learning environment.

Go Lynx!
