All students will be assigned one consistent morning bus stop and one consistent afternoon bus stop.
Please review your child's bus information in Skyward. If you notice an error or need a correction, email [email protected] as soon as possible. Include your student's full name, grade, and requested correction.
📱 ELEMENTARY PIKMYKID
Elementary families will use PikMyKid for dismissal.
Before school:
• Download the FREE PikMyKid app.

Morning Drop-Off: 7:55–8:10 AM. PikMyKid is not needed.
Afternoon Pick-Up: Begins at 2:50 PM. Dismissal changes must be entered in PikMyKid before 2:30 PM.
At pick-up, follow signs to the Parent Pick-Up Line, use the furthest available numbered spot, remain in your vehicle, announce your arrival in the app, and display your child's PikMyKid number.
🎒 BACKPACK REQUIREMENT
Backpacks must be fully clear (transparent plastic/vinyl) OR made entirely of mesh material.
This applies to all students from the moment they arrive on school grounds each morning.

💳 SCHOOLCAFÉ
SchoolCafé allows families to add money, review purchases, check balances, and set low-balance alerts or automatic payments. Please see the attached SchoolCafé Parent Instructions for registration and payment information.
🩺 MEASLES INFORMATION
Pennsylvania is experiencing an increase in measles cases. Families are encouraged to check their child's records to make sure their MMR vaccination is up to date. If your child is behind schedule, please contact your healthcare provider.
Symptoms may include high fever, cough, runny nose, red/watery eyes, followed by a red rash that usually begins on the face and spreads down the body.
If your child develops symptoms, keep them home, call your healthcare provider before visiting in person, and notify the school nurse.
In the event of a confirmed case, the District will work with the PA Department of Health. Students/staff without proof of immunity may be excluded from school following an exposure in accordance with state health guidance.
