Last Call: Parents of ‘Bus’ Students

This Thursday, December 23rd, is our next 12:05pm dismissal day.

Please note that due to a conflict with the public school bus schedule, our buses will need to depart SJS at 11:00am that day.  Therefore, we are asking all families with students that typically ride the bus home from school to complete the following questionnaire to let us know how they will be getting home on December 23rd.  This information will be shared with the teachers tomorrow morning.

If you did not already do so earlier this week, Please Fill Out This Form If Your Child Rides The Bus Home From SJS.

 

If your child is going to AFTERCARE on December 23rd, please remember they will need a lunch from home.
