🚍 Orgullo del Distrito: Departamento de Transporte 💙

¡Esta semana reconocemos con orgullo a los increíbles integrantes de nuestro Departamento de Transporte!
Desde nuestro Director de Transporte hasta cada conductor de autobús, despachador, mecánico y miembro del equipo de apoyo, gracias por la dedicación, el cuidado y el compromiso que demuestran todos los días.
Cada mañana, ustedes son de las primeras sonrisas que reciben a nuestros estudiantes, saludándolos con amabilidad y asegurándose de que lleguen seguros y listos para aprender. Cada tarde, son los últimos en despedirse de ellos mientras regresan a casa con sus familias. Su impacto va mucho más allá del transporte: ustedes ayudan a crear un comienzo y un final seguros, acogedores y positivos para cada día escolar.
Con lluvia o con sol, antes de que salga el sol y mucho después de que suene el último timbre escolar, nuestro equipo de transporte trabaja incansablemente detrás de escena para mantener a nuestro distrito en movimiento. Su profesionalismo, trabajo en equipo y compromiso inquebrantable con la seguridad de los estudiantes hacen una diferencia invaluable en la vida de nuestros estudiantes y sus familias.
Ustedes son una parte esencial de nuestra familia del distrito y estamos profundamente agradecidos por todo lo que hacen.
¡Gracias por mantener a nuestros estudiantes seguros, apoyados y en el camino hacia el éxito!
¡Juntos, con Rigor, Prosperamos! 💙🚌

🚍 District Pride: Transportation Department 💙

This week, we proudly recognize the incredible members of our Transportation Department!
From our Transportation Director to every bus driver, dispatcher, mechanic, and support team member, thank you for the dedication, care, and commitment you demonstrate every single day.
Each morning, you are among the very first smiling faces our students see, greeting them with kindness and ensuring they arrive safely and ready to learn. Each afternoon, you are the last to wish them well as they head home to their families. Your impact extends far beyond transportation—you help create a safe, welcoming, and positive start and end to every school day.
Rain or shine, before the sun rises and long after the final school bell rings, our transportation team works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our district moving. Your professionalism, teamwork, and unwavering focus on student safety make an immeasurable difference in the lives of our students and families.
You are an essential part of our district family, and we are grateful for everything you do.
Thank you for keeping our students safe, supported, and on the road to success.
Together with Rigor, We Thrive!💙🚌

Here are some friendly reminders for riding the bus during the first days of school. The start of a new school year is exciting, and we want to help make sure everyone has a safe, smooth, and comfortable ride. 🚌🏫
Our buses will have the air conditioning running at full capacity; however, bus air conditioning does not cool the same way a personal vehicle does.
If families would prefer to drive their students for the first few weeks while everyone adjusts to the heat and the start of the school year, that is perfectly fine. Please make sure to notify the school of any transportation changes so records can be updated.
