2026 Routes are not yet published, you'll receive an email and update as soon as they are available. However,
If you see a school bus driving around Ledyard today or tomorrow with no kids on it, don’t worry, School doesn’t start until next Thursday.

Our drivers are out testing routes, checking stops, timing runs, and making sure everything is ready for the first day.

Think of it as the school bus version of a dress rehearsal…

So give our drivers a wave if you see them out there. They’re doing the homework now so our students can get where they need to go next Thursday.

📚 PTO Question of the Day: WHEN WILL WE FIND OUT OUR TEACHER?!

We know. We know. The anticipation is REAL. 😂

Teacher assignments for Ledyard Public Schools are generally sent out via email about one week before the first day of school — on or around August 21st. 📧

And if you have more than one student in the same grade level, don’t panic when you see the email! You’ll receive a follow-up email clarifying which student has which teacher. 💙💛

So, in the meantime… keep refreshing that inbox. 😉📱

Thanks The Old Farmer's Almanac

Southpaws, unite! 🫲 Today is International Left-Handers Day! If you’re one of the 10-12% of folks worldwide who favor their left hand, this day is for you!

Scientists aren’t sure what causes left-handedness. Genetics plays a role, but it’s not the whole story. For example, identical twins have the same DNA, but it is common for one twin to be right-handed and the other to be left-handed.

But if being a lefty makes you feel “left out”, you’re actually in good company. It is believed that all polar bears are left-handed! Learn more facts and lore about lefties at Almanac.com/Lefty
