Mental Health Monday: This is a good reminder that mental health is important and crucial for academic and social/emotional success. Please reach out to someone if you are struggling. There is no stigma or judgment for caring about your mental well-being. Reach out to me or another trusted adult at any time. We are here for you. -- Miss Olive

• School Bus Driver Appreciation Week: February 9–13, 2026.
• A Huge Shout-Out to Our School Bus Superheroes! 🚌

This week is School Bus Driver Appreciation Week, and we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible team that keeps our students moving! Rain or shine, our drivers are the first friendly faces our students see in the morning and the last ones to wish them a great evening. It's not just about driving; it's about the patience, care, and safety they provide on every single mile. They navigate traffic, manage the "morning energy," and make sure every child gets home safely.

If you see your driver at the stop this week, a quick "thank you" or even a friendly wave goes a long way toward showing them they are a vital part of our school family.

To our drivers: Thank you for your dedication, your early mornings, late evenings, weekends, and days off, and for being the heartbeat of our district's transportation!
