With tomorrow being the first day of school, please remember to send in a note if your student(s) will be getting off the bus anywhere but home, like at a daycare provider. You may send in one note for the year if your child is consistently going somewhere other then home after school. ( or if they need to be picked up from somewhere other then home)
If we do not have a note, then your child will ride the bus to their home address. If no one is there to meet the child from the bus, they will have to come back to the school and picked up here.
Opening workshop day at RSU 12. We are excited to be back and can’t wait to see our students on Wednesday!
