Even if you notify the teacher of a change in transportation please also call or email myself. I keep the bus list up to date so the bus drivers are aware of what students will or will not be riding. Thanks so much for all your help with this.

Serious consequences may result if a student is found with any drugs including over the counter or prescription. First offense may result in 10 days of O.S.S.
