We are on the lookout for a couple more bus drivers for this year. Next Wednesday, July 23 from 3pm-6pm join us in the Prairie Hills Middle School parking lot to get up close and personal with a school bus. You'll also be able to talk with other bus drivers to get an idea of what the job is like, learn about the process to obtain your CDL, and even interview right then and there!
We just can't stop thinking about being back in school! See the graphics for open house times to add to your calendars, as well as our official start and dismissal times for the year.
We are less than one month from the start of school. Have you seen the deals on school supplies?! We know some of you have! You can see our school supply lists here: https://www.usd313.org/documents/parents%2Fstudents/supply-lists/223574
As you are planning for the start of school you may be wondering when your student's first day of school is. See the graphic below (check your email if you are reading this as a text message) for start dates that differ depending on what grade your child is in. Ad Astra Academies students will all start on August 12th.

We want to highlight all of our child care staff who take care of our littlest Crusaders every day:
— Our Birth to 3 teams at Crusader Corner and Buhler Beginnings, changing diapers, growing little minds and so much more
— Our Shining Stars staff in our elementary buildings, helping our preschoolers continue to practice social skills through games and crafts.

Help us celebrate our child care providers today!
