They're here! We are so delighted to welcome all students to school for their first day. We hope everyone enjoyed meeting their teachers, making friends, learning new schedules and getting the new year underway! Thank you to all of our families for their patience and our fantastic bus drivers for their efforts too! This week, remember to be at bus stops about 10 minutes early and expect some delays in the first few days as we're all getting used to new routes and routines!
