Good evening parents!
Due to a loss of a bus driver for bus 276, we are going to need to update ALL our routes on our buses to include the students on bus 276 starting Monday, October 3rd. Please look for a letter to come home tomorrow with your child indicating your bus #, AM/PM pick up and drop off times, and bus stop location. We will need to establish new community stops on other buses to be able to pick up and drop off students with only 2 buses that are running routes. Thank you for your patience as we continue to look for additional bus drivers.
UPDATE!!
Due to the approaching hurricane, the Owen Football Game and Youth Night have been moved to this Thursday night at 7pm at Owen High School. Students should report to the field at 6:45pm. Thank you!

We are so excited to start the new year! This week will be busy and we will all need a little extra patience with our new car rider line and community bus stops. On Monday and Tuesday, we will allow parents to park in the parking lot and walk students to class. Beginning Wednesday, August 31, parents can walk students to the back door. If you choose to do that, please make sure that you park in a parking spot and use the crosswalk. We want to keep everyone safe during this busy time of the day. Thank you for your help!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
There was a typo on the Kindergarten postcards that went out this weekend. All Kindergarten students are invited to Meet the Teacher this Friday, August 26 (NOT August 19 as stated). We are sorry for the confusion. See you Friday!
