School Bus Information
You may have noticed a school bus dropping off and picking students up. This is new to Harvey Dunn and we want to remind you of a few school bus rules. It is possible bus stops have been added to your neighborhood. As always, if the bus is flashing red, that means there are kids ahead and you should stop.
Be aware of bus zones. Please do not park on North Drive where the bus pulls in. This area is marked with orange cones. Please drop off behind the cones (Pulling further ahead on North Drive makes it difficult for others to pass at the curve.)
Thank You for your cooperation and help in making sure our students have a safe drop off zone.

Principal's Corner
Greetings Harvey Dunn Families,
Fall Conferences are right around the corner and we are looking forward to connecting with parents/guardians on October 10th and 12th. Conferences are a great time for teachers and parents to connect. It is an opportunity for teachers to share students' academic progress along with their social and emotional growth. Classroom teachers have already sent a link with the conference sign-up times. If you need this link again, please reach out to your child's teacher.
If you would like to connect with a Specials Teacher, you can stop by their classroom when visiting for an in-person conference or send an email to set up a phone call conference.

Parking Lot Reminders - Thank you for reviewing and keeping students safe!
Students' safe arrival to and departure from school is a top priority. Please take time to review the reminders below. We are all here for the same reason, the children. When we all follow the guidelines during drop off, you help your child start their day off in a positive and safe manner, as well as the other families around you. Thank you for doing your part to make this process and procedure work.
- Park vehicles in the parking lot and walk students to and from the school using the crosswalks. If you are choosing to drop off students, use the circle drive or north drive.
- Only vehicles with handicap parking permits can park in the handicap spots.
- When pulling up in the circle drive or north drive before or after school remain in your vehicle and move forward as the line moves. This helps keep traffic moving.
- Students exit on the passenger side of the vehicle. In the circle drive, once you are in the student drop-off zone, students exit the vehicle. When more students are exiting the vehicles, we are able to move traffic through more efficiently.
- The north drive might be a faster alternative for morning drop-off when the circle drive is busy. Remain in your vehicle and move forward as the line moves. This helps keep traffic moving.
Breakfast & Lunch
Breakfast begins at 7:30am. Each grade level has a separate lunch time (see schedule).
Lunch money can be deposited into your child’s account by using the MySchoolBuck on-line system. MySchoolBuck App is available on the Apple Store and Google Play.
