Parents of students who ride bus 739 - At this time, there is still not a driver for route 739. The driver for 108 will be covering that route after completing her route for both pick up and drop off all week.
We have a short, but important week of learning ahead as we approach the mid-way point of the 2nd quarter! There will be no school this Wednesday, November 11th in recognition of Veterans Day. We would like to extend our thanks to our families who have and are serving our Country as members of the armed forces.
Attendance is always extremely important as students who are not here miss learning opportunities. Following this short week, we only have one additional full week prior to the weeklong break over the Thanksgiving holiday. Upon our return, we head straight into our state progress monitoring testing!
Duval County Public Schools will be hosting a school enrollment expo at the Prime Osborn Center this Saturday, November 14th. Parents of students in the 5th grade who are considering school choice are highly encouraged to attend to learn more about the options offered through DCPS!
Our Thanksgiving family lunch will take place on Thursday, November 19th. We always love seeing so many of our families joining us for lunch that day! Students eat free and family members are invited to purchase a lunch for $5.00 each. Flyers with the menu and your child’s lunch time for that day will be coming home on Monday. Please return the bottom portion of the flyer with the number of additional lunches you plan to purchase that day (one per family with the total number of lunches is fine!). This helps our cafeteria to plan appropriately!
Looking ahead, we have several dates to note:
Monday, November 16th – 2nd quarter progress reports posted
Wednesday, November 18th – Wellness Wednesday – wear “no bullying” shirts/bracelets
Thursday, November 19th – Family Thanksgiving Lunch (cafeteria)
Thursday, November 19th – Family STEM Night!
November 23rd – 27th – No School – Thanksgiving
As always, we thank you for partnering with us in your child’s education and look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow morning as we continue diving deep into learning!
As of right now, bus 739 does not have a driver for today. If your student rides bus 739 and you would like to make arrangements for them to go home a different way, please change their dismissal method in PikMyKid before 2:30 today.
Bus 108 will come back for bus 739 students after bus 108's own route. This will result in a delay of drop off times.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
This message is specifically for parents and guardians of students who ride Bus 739.
This afternoon, students who normally ride Bus 739 will be transported on Bus 108. The driver will first complete her regularly scheduled route before returning to the school to pick up Bus 739 students. As a result, these students will experience a significantly later school pick up timee and bus stop drop-off time than usual, especially with the recent time change (it will be darker outside).
If you would prefer to pick up your child from school today, please update your child's dismissal arrangements in PikMyKid no later than 2:35 p.m.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your continued patience, understanding, and flexibility as we navigate these transportation challenges.
Thank you!
