USD 321 Families
With the extreme heat this week, we are advising families who can, to come pick up their students from school rather than ride the bus. We understand that some kids sit on the bus longer than others and want to look after the safety of our students. For those who need to still ride the bus, we will have bottled water for the students as they get on. Please encourage your students to stay hydrated and to communicate with their bus driver if they do not feel well. Thank you for your help in this matter! Stay safe!
