The job is not done when the last stop is complete. Post-trip inspections help ensure every student has safely exited and each bus is secure for the next day. Thank you to our drivers for your attention to detail.
Take a moment to see everything that goes into a post-trip inspection.

Join us as we celebrate National School Bus Driver and Aide Appreciation Day on April 28. 🚌
This week, we are highlighting the important work our transportation team does each day to keep students safe.
Before the first stop is made, safety comes first. Our drivers carefully complete pre-trip inspections each day to ensure every bus is safe and ready to roll. Thank you to our drivers for starting every route with care.

We dressed in the themed colors each day to show our support and appreciation for our military families and our students and to honor their strength and resilience.
Be sure to stop by and check out our Wall of Honor, it’s a beautiful tribute created with love and gratitude for those who are and have served! ✨

We gathered for story time, explored shelves full of colorful books, and practiced choosing stories that sparked our curiosity. Students lipped through pages and shared their finds with friends. Even more special, some received their very first library cards! 💳📖 Moments like these remind us that a love of reading starts early and lasts a lifetime. 💛 We can’t wait for our next two visits this month!






Each spinning pinwheel represents the bright, hopeful future every child deserves. It was a great opportunity for learners to engage in a simple act that carries such an important message, raising awareness and supporting safety for all. A big thank you to the Women’s Club for partnering with us and making this experience happen annually.
