TOMORROW, THE HERD IS BACK

As we head into the first day, here’s one important reminder for our entire community: Give everyone a little extra patience tomorrow.

Buses are learning new routes and schedules.
Drop-off and pick-up lines will take a little longer.
Families are figuring out new routines.
Students are finding classrooms and learning schedules.
Teachers and staff are welcoming new faces and getting everyone where they need to be.

Leave home a few minutes early. Slow down in our school zones. Watch for buses and students. Be kind to the person directing traffic. Give each other some grace.

Get some sleep, Buffaloes. Tomorrow we fill the classrooms, hallways, cafeterias, playgrounds, gyms, fields, and buses again. See you in the morning.
