🎒 New This Year: Student Success Cards
To support safety and school readiness, all K–12 students will receive Student Success Cards this year. These cards will:
Be required to board and exit the bus
Serve as ID for school and events
Allow check-in/out at school
Connect with lunch accounts
Be used for more services soon (like library checkout!)
👉 Students riding the bus MUST carry their Success Card every day.
Grades 7–12 must wear their Success Card on a lanyard throughout the school day.
Together, we're making sure every student arrives safely, on time, and ready to learn. 💙
