We finally got out to tap our Sugar Maple trees yesterday in Environmental Science! We will be discussing the importance of Biodiversity, and how students can make Maple Syrup at home. We will be boiling sap again this year after we are done collecting!
Parents and Guardians,
Recently, we have had to make some unanticipated changes to our bus routes, due to driver shortages. For most of our students the bus they are currently riding has not changed. However, drop-off and pick-up times may be affected for students on several of our routes. Some students will also be assigned to a new bus and driver. All these changes will go into effect beginning Thursday, February 23rd and continue until further notice.
We have begun working to get the adjusted bus assignments and times updated in Skyward. We hope to have those all updated by noon on Wednesday. We are attempting to make these times as accurate as possible so that you are able to plan. However, some adjustments may need to be made into next week and we will communicate that individually, if needed.
If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a substitute bus driver, please contact the District Office at (309) 723-5111.
If you have any questions, please feel free to let us know.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this situation.
Mr. Young
There is no substitute for blood donations, there are a lot of friends, family and other loved ones that would not be here without blood donors. https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=RIDGEVIEW
