Tiger Nation, thanks for helping us have a great first day! Our students, staff, and families helped get our long-awaited 24-25 school year off to a great beginning! Starting any school year often comes with transportation challenges, and Tropical Storm Debby and running our Alternate Bus Routes due to the ongoing impacts of Tropical Storm Debby have added to those challenges. We know these adjustments to transportation haven't been easy, and we truly appreciate your patience, support, and assistance as we navigate these challenges! We've made adjustments to help our Tigers navigate these challenges, and we ask for our parents and families to assist as they're able by following these important transportation tips: https://tinyurl.com/58vfjktn THANK YOU for all you have done and continue to do on behalf of our Tigers!
