Good evening, Bus 288 families,

Tomorrow morning, Bus 288 will run as a combined route with a middle school bus. The combined route will not begin until 8:15 a.m., so students on Bus 288 will be picked up later than usual.

If you are able to bring your child to school, you are welcome to do so. We understand this is a significant disruption to your morning, and I’m sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience. We hope bus 288 will be back on schedule for next week.

Bus 288 late friday morning.
Today is Do Good Day! 🌟 Carry a smile, lend a hand, include someone—small acts matter. Today, “Do Good” cards and stickers were passed out to students who consistently show kindness — the one who helps first, includes others, or thinks of someone in need. There’s so much good happening every day; let’s spotlight it. If you get the chance to do good today, take it — you might change someone’s day. 💫

🫀❤️ Ms. Stewart’s 4th Grade class has been learning about the circulatory system, and what it means to have a literal great heart!

Students worked in groups to identify the main idea , supporting details and figurative language from their assigned pages in The circulatory story, then created anchor charts to show their understanding. They finished by presenting their learning to the class!

So proud of the collaboration, creativity, and learning happening in our classroom!
