Artisan Fair
Please visit our Student Artisan Fair in the cafeteria during Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences on Thursday night between 4pm -7:30pm. Our talented students will be selling a variety of homemade crafts and baked goods, so please bring cash.
Transportation
Fenton Bus Lines has a bus app to help families monitor their child’s bus route. The app is called “Bus Status 4” which is a new version of the app families will need to download. Download the app and select “Fenton Bus Lines.” This company is responsible for route K. All other routes are handled by Southland, please refer to www.myschoolbusmonitor.com every morning to make sure your child(ren)’s bus is on time and has no delays. If you do not remember your child’s bus letter, you can look on your MyCBE account --> Bus Routes and stops, Route.
