For the safety of our students, we’ve made a small change to Route 401 based on the driver’s observations.
Starting Monday, Oct. 13, a stop at 3rd Avenue and Pueblo will replace the 6th Avenue and Pueblo stop.
Students who live on the west side of 6th Ave. will now use the 6th Ave. and Southgate stop.
Students who live on the east side of 6th Ave. can use the 3rd Ave. and Pueblo stop.
This change will help keep everyone safe by avoiding the need for students to cross 6th Ave.
Thank you for your understanding and support!
Today is the first day of fall break! We hope our students and their families have a restful and fun week, and we look forward to seeing you next Monday, Oct. 13!
The district and school offices will be open to the public on Monday and Tuesday only, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. All offices will be closed from Wednesday through Friday.
