If you need to relay a message to your student or notify them of their after school transportation, please contact our office by 2:45PM.
Students are called to the office at the end of the day on afternoon announcements and given the message.
Please know that if the student is aware of their transportation (ex: you want them to be a car rider instead of the bus and you told them that before they came to school) you do not have to notify us. As long as you and your student know what the plan is, all bases are covered!! However, if it gives you peace of mind to call us and have us remind them at the end of the day, we are more than happy to do so!
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the office at 618-395-4372

We look forward to welcoming students back to school tomorrow Wednesday August 13th. All teachers and staff have been diligently working to make the 2025-2026 school year awesome! Please be patient with our transportation department and bus drivers as they work through new bus routes and adding new students to their routes. Bus pick up and drop off times are estimated especially in the first few days of a new school year. If you have specific questions about your student drop off and/or pick up times, please call your students school or the transportation department. Let's have a great year!
We enjoyed getting to see everyone last night at back to school night!
