Beginning of the year TRAFFIC GRIDLOCK, can be avoided by attending to the following:

3. Drop off and Pick up are ONLY at the BACK of the Building (see graphic below).
4. Follow all posted signs and staff direction.

Good evening from VBPS Transportation,

All students, even if they are unsure of purchasing a class shirt, should complete the google form to record their desired shirt size.

You do not need to pay for the shirt when completing the google form. Here is the link that has the information concerning the class package and the link to the google form.
