School News and Information
Happy Friday! We hope you’ve had a great week. REMEMBER - PICTURES ARE MONDAY!!!
Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures
Thank you for adjusting to our new routine that was started on Thursday, September 7th, 2023. This change was designed to ensure the safety and efficiency of our dismissal process.
All three elementary schools (Bogan Elementary, Kramer Elementary, and Marshall Elementary) will dismiss vehicle/car riders at 3:05 p.m. Bus riders will continue to follow their usual dismissal procedures, departing when the buses arrive.
We understand that consistency in school routines is important for both students and families. We have carefully considered this adjustment and believe that it strikes a balance between the need for instruction and the convenience of our dismissal process.
