Dear Families,

Whether you're a returning student or new to our school community, we're thrilled to have you with us.
The start of a new school year is always a special time – a chance to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and embark on fresh learning adventures. Our dedicated faculty and staff have been hard at work preparing for your return, creating an environment that fosters curiosity, growth, and success.
Here are a few important details to help you transition smoothly into the new year:
School officially resumes on Monday, August 28th. The first day of school is a half day and will dismiss at 11:35. As a reminder, we have no delayed start on Wednesday, August 30th. School will begin at our normally scheduled time of 8:25. Also, we have a new dismissal time of 3:35 daily.
I can't wait to see the school once again buzzing with energy and enthusiasm. Each one of you contributes to our school community, and we look forward to a year filled with growth, achievements, and unforgettable moments.
Here's to an amazing year ahead!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Powell

FIRST VIEW BUS TRACKING
Pick Up Lane-CAR TAGS
We will be using Car Tags again this year for our pick up lane students. Many of you are familiar with these tags if you participated in the West Shore process in the past. You will only need ONE tag per building if participating in both lanes. To obtain your tag please stop in the office during Open House. If you still have a sign from last year or West Shore they are the same, please use it this year.
Change In End Of Day Pick Up?
Any bus changes must be approved by the principal at least 24 hours in advance. Students are not allowed to take alternative buses home unless their is an emergency situation. Please do not use bus transportation as a means of transporting friends for after school social or extracurricular events. Our buses have capacity limits and we cannot add students to bus routes. We care about the safety of our students and therefore must closely monitor ridership on our school buses.
Traffic Safety
We realize the morning and afternoon can be busy times in our parking lots at West Shore and Torrey Hill. Please help with traffic concerns by avoiding crossing over the incoming lane (AM) and outgoing lane (PM) at West Shore (Lahring entrance).
Also, if you enter Torrey Hill from Torrey Rd., please remember you can only turn right at the flagpole. Some are turning left where the sign, "No Left Turn", is located. Thank you for your support.
