Why are our elementary kids arriving to school a full 50 minutes early this year?...20 minutes earlier than car riders. Where will my child be and what will my child be doing between 7:10-8? Who will susupervise my child and all the bus riders?

@Whitney,elementary middle and high school bus routes have been updated. Elementatary students will now arrive, on average, at 7:20a. Every principal has a robust plan in place to accept and monitor all students. We have plenty of staff on hand at all schools.
