MESSAGE FROM MRS. DENISON

Dear Little Bucks Families,

It is absolutely amazing that we made it through a full year of in-person learning given the last two years we have experienced. I am so proud of what our staff and students have accomplished this year! This summer is a well-deserved break for everyone!

We are still accepting registrations for preschool and kindergarten. Packets are available in our office. If you know a family that has a child that would qualify, please send them our way!

Thank you for your support, patience, and sharing your little ones with us. We love serving our Little Bucks and their families!

Go Bucks!

If you ever have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Stacey Denison, Principal

TRANSPORTATION CHANGES AT DISMISSAL

We want to make sure every single student gets out the door and home safely. Please remember the following:

You MUST contact our school office by 2:00 pm if you need to make changes to your child's transportation routine.
If you need to make changes involving a bus, these changes must be communicated to our office by 1:30 pm, before the buses leave for their middle/high school routes.
Please do not message or email teachers as they are often in session and do not receive the messages until it is too late.
If you need a numbered car tag for the pick up line, please come into our office.
If you are picking your child up as a walker, they will be dismissed at the doors by our front office.
Only car riders with parents in the pick up line will be dismissed at the north parking lot doors.
