This page is dedicated to our bus drivers. 

“Bus drivers are often the first and last representation of school that students see each day. The school bus ride is not just a form of transportation to a place of learning: It is a social-emotional learning environment of its own. That environment, whether positive or negative, sets the tone for learning throughout the day and affects a student’s perception of education.”
