TRANSPORTATION: A special thanks to the USD 211 bus drivers and to the bus transportation director Jim Jackson for transporting our students in a safe and efficient manner. Your child(ren) are in safe hands with these dedicated people.
USD 211 employs four crossing guards who help insure that children crossing the highway are able to do so in a safe manner. We should all be thankful that we have a great group of people helping our students be safe in their journey to and from school.
BUS PICK UP AND DROP OFF: The office would like to remind parents to let the school know as soon as possible if there are any changes in a student’s schedule. The office can get that message to the students before dismissal and hopefully avoid any potential conflicts after school.
